Background: The immune-related adverse event (irAE), pneumonitis, is a potentially fatal complication of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Preventing its progression is crucial, emphasizing the need for effective screening tests. We evaluated the feasibility of using Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), a marker for interstitial pneumonitis, as a screening tool for pneumonitis.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have significantly improved cancer treatment outcomes but are associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as inflammatory arthritis (ir-IA). Management of ir-IA is evolving, with corticosteroids as the primary treatment, though some cases require steroid-sparing agents.
Aims: This study aimed to compare initial mean prednisolone doses and disease persistence over 12 months in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-like ir-IA managed by rheumatologists or oncologists.

Background/aims: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective in treating cancer. However, various immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have become prevalent, with ICI-induced colitis being the most common gastrointestinal irAE. Thus, we aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of ICI-induced colitis in Korean patients with cancer.
