Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Associated Myositis And Myasthenia Gravis Overlap: Understanding The Diversity In A Case Series

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved survival across tumor types however they cause immune-related toxicities through removal of the inhibition of auto-reactive T cells. In this case review, we present 4 patients with metastatic cancer who developed de-novo neuromuscular side effects of myositis with overlapping seropositive myasthenia gravis after ICI treatment.
