Check this out: treatment paradigms in immune-checkpoint inhibitor colitis.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have become a pillar of cancer therapy for many people around the world. However, up to two-thirds of all patients undergoing ICI therapy will have immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including immune-checkpoint inhibitor colitis (ICIC). This review summarizes the most valuable and currently available information about the mechanism, diagnosis, and management of ICIC.

RECENT FINDINGS: Recent findings include several developments on the leading theories for the mechanisms of ICIC such as the role of the gut microbiome. New emerging therapy strategies include tocilizumab, ustekinumab, mycophenolate mofetil, and calcineurin inhibitors.

SUMMARY: The occurrence of irAEs remains a limiting factor for the use of immunotherapy in cancer treatment. Prompt diagnosis of ICIC with endoscopy and histologic confirmation can lead to early utilization of known effective treatments such as corticosteroids, infliximab, vedolizumab, and other emerging therapy strategies.
