A 55-year-old man had skin cancer and treatment was started. He also had a blood cancer around the same time that was not causing any problems. The skin cancer treatment started to cause problems many weeks later. His immune system started to react and become more active and so his liver started to suffer. The treatment for his skin cancer was stopped and steroids were started, which eventually improved his condition. These treatments for skin cancer can activate the immune system, but to this extent is not very common. It is important to know that it is possible and needs to be actioned early.
