Given the increasing use of immune-checkpoint inhibitors for treating cancer, immune-related adverse events — and markers to prevent and diagnose these — are coming into focus. A systematic analysis investigates genetic, molecular, cellular and clinical risk factors of such adverse events in a large pan-cancer cohort treated with multiple agents.
