Article Synopsis
- This study investigates immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related cytopenias, which are underreported blood disorders linked to cancer treatments, using data from the French pharmacovigilance database up to March 2022.
- Among 68 patients with grade ≥ 2 cytopenias, the most common conditions noted were immune thrombocytopenia (50.7%) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (25.3%), with nearly 50% of cases being severe (grade ≥ 4).
- The research highlights that while ICI-related cytopenias can be serious and life-threatening, a significant number (72.1%) showed improvement with conventional treatments, although relapses occurred in some patients after restarting ICIs.
