Abstract
The increasing use of immunocheckpoint inhibitors in tumors has brought new hope of survival to patients with advanced tumors. However, the immune system activated by immunocheckpoint inhibitors, mainly activated T-cell immunity, may attack normal tissues and organs of the human body and lead to a variety of adverse effects. In the lung, they could induce checkpoint inhibitor associated pneumonitis (CIP). CIP is different from known pulmonary interstitial pneumonitis, and had a potentially fatal risk if it was not being properly treated. We will summarize the characteristics of CIP and give our advice on how to manage immunocheckpoint inhibitor associated pneumonitis.Entities:
