Abstract
The inhibition of immune checkpoint therapy emerged as the novel treatment in advanced lung cancer, including anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibodies. The fatal toxicity of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents is pneumonitis, which is defined as a noninfectious inflammation to the lung parenchyma. The diagnosis of pneumonitis consists of the history of immunotherapy, clinical symptoms and presentation of computed tomography (CT) imaging. The typical CT findings include ground-glass opacities.
