Relationship Between Corona Virus Infection And Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Abstract

The severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes infectious disease, COVID-19, and the relationship between COVID-19 and cancer immunotherapy such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is not fully understood. Recent rapid progress in ICI therapy has reported their immune response-related reaction, which demonstrates the importance of studies on the relationship between ICIs and COVID-19. In this Editorial, the application of ICIs in COVID-19 is focused on.
