Article Synopsis
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are used as a treatment for advanced cancers but can lead to pancreatitis, with an incidence of about 1-2%, particularly higher in combination therapies.
- The review examines the connections between ICIs and pancreatitis, including clinical presentations, diagnosis, management strategies, and emphasizes the need for better understanding of underlying mechanisms and risk factors.
- Current diagnosis relies on clinical symptoms and imaging, while management may involve IV fluids and pain control, with ongoing exploration of immunosuppressants for severe cases; long-term monitoring is necessary due to potential chronic issues.
