Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors induce durable responses in some patients with advanced cancer but may simultaneously trigger autoinflammatory immune-related adverse events (irAE). The pathogenesis of irAEs may relate to genetic predisposition, environmental insults, or tumor-host interactions. Elevated expression of certain cytokines may signal subclinical inflammation that evolves into severe irAEs with treatment.See related article by Lim et al., p. 1557. ©2018 American Association for Cancer Research.Entities:
