Against the background of a rapidly increasing use of checkpoint inhibitors, this article provides an overview of currently available reports on the clinical courses of neurological side effects. Controlled studies on the treatment of neurological side effects are lacking. From case studies it can be assumed that early steroid treatment increases the probability of a complete remission of neurological symptoms. Typical symptom constellations must therefore be rapidly recognized and an immunosuppressive treatment must be initiated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
