A study of over a thousand cancer patients treated with immunotherapy drugs has found these patients are at greater risk of heart problems, including death from a heart attack or stroke. The patients had either lung cancer or malignant melanoma (a type of skin cancer), for which immune checkpoint inhibitors such as a programmed cell death-1 (PD1) inhibitors or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors are used. The study, which is published today (Wednesday) in the European Heart Journal [1], found that the risks of heart problems in patients were higher than shown by previous safety data for these drugs.
