Immunotherapy, particularly that based on blocking checkpoint proteins in many tumors, including melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple-negative breast (TNB cancer), renal cancer, and gastrointestinal and endometrial neoplasms, is a therapeutic alternative to chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapies have the potential to target different pathways leading to the destruction of cancer cells. Although ICIs are an effective treatment strategy for patients with highly immune-infiltrated cancers, the development of different adverse effects including cutaneous adverse effects during and after the treatment with ICIs is common.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment by enhancing the immune system's ability to target cancer cells. However, ICIs can lead to immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including dermatologic manifestations such as bullous pemphigoid (BP).
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of omalizumab and other biologics in the treatment of ICI-induced refractory bullous pemphigoid and to derive a strategy for selecting biologic treatments for this condition.

Background: Conventional systemic corticosteroid therapy for bullous pemphigoid (BP) has been challenged due to severe adverse events. Dupilumab has emerged as an alternative therapeutical option of BP patients.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab monotherapy and the combination with medium/low-dose corticosteroids for BP treatment.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a severe skin reaction caused by extensive epidermal and mucosal necrosis. This clinical phenomenon is known as an acute syndrome of apoptotic pan-epidermolysis (ASAP). The ASAP phenomenon is observed in conditions that mimic TEN, highlighting the challenge in distinguishing these conditions.
