Immune-Related Adverse Events in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Combination With Chemotherapy: A Brief Report

Published:November 25, 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cllc.2022.11.006

      Clinical Practice Points

      • The occurrence of an immune related adverse event is prognostically useful in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy.
      • Immune related adverse events occur at similar rates and have analogous toxicity profiles in patients receiving combination immune checkpoint inhibitors plus chemotherapy compared to patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy.
