Neuromuscular complications of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have been increasingly used in patients with various cancers. Despite favourable oncological outcomes these treatments have also been associated with immune-related adverse events. Neurological irAE are rare but potentially severe and neuromuscular complications are the most common. This is a new group of neurologic complications of systemic anticancer therapies, often responsive to immune-modulating therapies. Early recognition and treatment are crucial for timely improvement of functional outcome and requires a multidisciplinary approach.
