Abstract:

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), including cytotoxic T?lymphocyte?associated protein 4 (CTLA?4) inhibitors and programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD?1) inhibitors and their ligand 1 (PD?L1) inhibitors, have transformed the clinical outcomes of many patients with malignancies. programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD?1) inhibitors and their ligand 1 (PD?L1) inhibitors have changed the clinical outcomes of many patients with malignancies and have become the most important anti?tumor tools available. With the widespread use of immunotherapy, immune?related adverse events (irAEs) induced by ICIs have gradually attracted clinical attention, among which ICI?related colitis has become the most common adverse event in the gastrointestinal system. In this paper, we describe the epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical management of ICI?related colitis, with the aim of providing reference for clinicians to identify and treat ICI?related colitis in a timely manner.

Key words: immune checkpoint inhibitors, immune?related adverse events, colitis
