Pembrolizumab-Induced Obstructive Bronchiolitis in a Patient With Stage IV Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: Immune checkpoint inhibitors are now a standard of care for the management of many metastatic cancers, including non-small-cell lung cancer. Pembrolizumab, a selective anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, augments the host antitumoural response. This hyperactivation of the immune system has side effects, the so-called immune-related adverse effects. The objective of this case report was to review and point out a new pattern of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated pneumonitis. Case Description: A 69-year-old woman with stage iv non-small-cell lung cancer receiving pembrolizumab presented for increased dyspnea. Pembrolizumab-related obstructive bronchiolitis was diagnosed based on a new severe obstructive disorder, without bronchodilator reversibility, and mosaic attenuation on angiography, without other identifiable causes. Summary: To our knowledge, this is the first description of a case of pembrolizumab-induced obstructive bronchiolitis. Various patterns of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated lung disease have been described, and bronchiolitis should be included in the differential diagnosis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
