New strategies in the diagnosis and treatment of immune-checkpoint inhibitor-mediated colitis.
World Journal of Clinical Cases 2024 Februrary 27
Immune-checkpoint inhibitor-mediated colitis (IMC) is an increasingly recognized adverse event in cancer immunotherapy, particularly associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) such as anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 and anti-programmed cell death protein-1 antibodies. As this revolutionary immunotherapy gains prominence in cancer treatment, understanding, diagnosing, and effectively managing IMC becomes paramount. IMC represents a unique challenge due to its immune-mediated nature and potential for severe complications. However, a precise picture of IMC pathophysiology is currently unavailable. Therefore, we aimed to summarize the existing data while acknowledging the need for further research. This comprehensive review explores the mechanisms underlying ICIs, gastrointestinal adverse effects, and, in particular, IMC's incidence, prevalence, and features. Our review also emphasizes the importance of recognizing IMC's distinct clinical and histopathological features to differentiate it from other forms of colitis. Furthermore, this paper highlights the urgent need for evolving diagnostic methods, therapeutic strategies, and a multidisciplinary approach to effectively manage IMC.
