Immune-Related Adverse Events in PD-1 Treated Melanoma and Impact Upon Anti-Tumor Efficacy: A Real World Analysis

BackgroundAnti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of melanoma by producing durable long-term responses in a subset of patients. ICI-treated patients develop unique toxicities - immune related adverse events (irAEs) – that arise from unrestrained immune ac...
