Résumé

Cemiplimab, a monoclonal antibody directed against the PD-1 receptor of immune cells, has recent indication for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). We present the clinical case of an elderly woman affected by locally advanced squamous carcinoma of the left cheek, in excellent response after only one course of therapy with cemiplimab, with good tolerability. Immunotherapy is a new therapeutic option in cSCC.
