From this week's @JAMAOnc: "Fatal Toxic Effects Associated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors". This is largest evaluation of this topic, providing details of how , when, from what regimens, & how often fatalities from immunotherapy occur. Worth knowing. ja.ma/2xkpTBw pic.twitter.com/wEgEr1I7Jf

We usually only hear and read about the bright side of #cancer immunotherapy. Here's the dark side: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao… @JAMAOnc @VUMChealth @VUmedicine pic.twitter.com/XAFQGMzSyN

Great work from ⁦@VUMChealth⁩ looking ⁦@WHO⁩ pharmacovigilance data to study fatal immune-related AEs ⁦⁦@CardioOncology⁩, rare but important to be aware.

Fatal toxicity with immune checkpoint inhibitors is not common but does occur; vigilance remains key; most occur in the early period (median 40 days with single agent; 14 days with combination) ja.ma/2xhs3lo #bladdercancer #immunotherapy @B_C_A_N

Fatal Toxic Effects Associated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. A broad range of regimen-specific toxic effects caused fatalities in 0.3% to 1.3% of treated patients. JAMA
