https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gsk2643943a.html Although cases of gastrointestinal toxicity of pembrolizumab have been reported, cases of acute immune-mediated colitis accompanied with metachronous esophageal disorders (esophagitis and ulcer) are rare. We herein report a case of acute colitis and metachronous esophageal ulcers due to an immune-related adverse event following concomitant pembrolizumab chemotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge, there have so far been no reports of cases in which both acute immune-mediated colitis and metachronous esophageal ulcers developed. We therefore report the details of this case along with a review of the pertinent literature.Objective Little is known about the time from developing a first cancer to confirming the presence of a mismatch repair (MMR) gene mutation for Lynch syndrome (LS) probands. Methods This was a retrospective single center study. LS probands, who have an MMR gene mutation that was confirmed first in a pedigree and thereafter developed at least one cancer, were included in this study. Results There were 21 LS probands who had developed at least one cancer; 6 with MLH1 mutations, 9 with MSH2 mutations, 4 with MSH6 mutations, and 2 with EPCAM deletions. The median ages at the first cancer and the genetic diagnosis were 47 (34-71) and 62 (38-84) years old, respectively. The mean interval between the first cancer and the genetic diagnosis was 11.0 (0-25) years, and 20 years or longer interval was required for the 5 probands. Six (28.6%) probands were older than 70 years, and 3 (14.3%) were in their 80s when they were diagnosed to have LS. The genetic diagnosis was confirmed at the first, second, third, and fourth cancer or later in 5, 5, 6, and 5 probands, respectively. Of the 16 cancers examined, 2 (12.5%) were microsatellite stable (MSS), both of whom had germline MSH6 mutations. All 17 LS probands who developed colorectal cancer met the revised Bethesda guidelines at the genetic diagnosis, b
