Abstract

Immunotherapy has changed the standard treatment for lung cancer. While Immuno-Oncology (IO) agents may be better tolerated compared to conventional chemotherapy, immune related adverse events differ from those seen with traditional chemotherapy and potentially involve every organ system. Dermatologic, gastrointestinal, hepatic and endocrine toxicities typically predominate the adverse events profile of these agents. Severe autoimmune side effects may be experienced by patients treated with these new drugs.
