Biomarkers of Checkpoint Inhibitor Induced Immune-Related Adverse Events—A Comprehensive Review

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have substantially improved the prognosis of patients with different types of cancer. Through blockade of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), negative feedback mechanisms of the immune system are inhibited, potentially resulting in very durable anti-tumor responses. Despite their promise, ICIs can also elicit auto-immune toxicities. These immune-related adverse...
