Pembrolizumab‐Induced Myositis: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges From Two Case Reports and a Narrative Review

open access: yesCancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pembrolizumab, an anti‐PD‐1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, has transformed the treatment of multiple solid tumors. However, it can rarely cause immune‐related myositis, which may involve limb, bulbar, and respiratory muscles, posing a risk of severe morbidity and mortality. Early recognition and management are essential. We report two
