Abstract

We demonstrate the effectiveness of readministering cetuximab as a salvage chemotherapeutic agent after nivolumab administration to a patient with a recurrence of cervical lymph node metastasis after tongue cancer surgery. We can infer that the immunostimulatory effect of nivolumab and reactivation of cetuximab enhance the antitumor effect of the therapy.
