Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the incidence of noninfectious uveitis among skin melanoma and lung cancer patients receiving different treatments: BRAF inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), or conventional chemotherapy.
  • An analysis of over 77,000 patients showed that those on BRAF inhibitors had a significantly higher risk of uveitis (2.27%) compared to those on ICIs (0.35%) or chemotherapy (0.33%).
  • The adjusted risk indicates that patients on BRAF inhibitors were over 7 times more likely to develop uveitis compared to those not treated with BRAF inhibitors, with even higher risks noted after matching for similar characteristics.
