Cutaneous Adverse Events of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Literature Review

Immune checkpoints assist with self-tolerance and minimize collateral tissue damage when immune responses are activated. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) are characterized by a favorable risk/benefit ratio, immune checkpoint blockade has been associated with a new subset of autoimmune-l...
