Abstract

Immunotherapy has changed the treatment landscape for patients with cancer in the past decade. Immunecheckpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapies have proven effective in a range of malignancies, including liver and gastrointestinal cancers, but they can cause diverse off-target organ toxicities. With the increasingly wider application of these drugs, immune-mediated liver injury from ICIs has become a commonly encountered challenge in clinical hepatology and gastroenterology. In this Review, we discuss the evidence from human and animal studies on the immunological mechanisms of immune-mediated liver injury from ICIs and summarize its clinical features and practical considerations for its management.
