Abstract:BackgroundImmune-related adverse events (irAEs) are a unique characteristic of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and can confer survival benefits. For example, melanoma patients who develop vitiligo as an irAE tend to have improved overall survival (OS), hypothesized to be due to molecular mimicry between similar antigens.1 2 Further analysis of the impact of irAEs on OS among real-world lung cancer patients is needed; this study addresses this need in a hospitalized population.3–5MethodsThis single-center r… Show more
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.
