Abstract

Although tumor immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy brings survival benefits to cancer patients, it also faces many challenges, such as the occurrence of immune-mediated hepatotoxicity. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the conditions, possible mechanisms, and risk factors that cause liver injury during the treatment of tumor immune checkpoint inhibitors will facilitate better clinical management.

肿瘤免疫检查点抑制剂治疗为肿瘤患者带来生存获益的同时,也面临了许多挑战,例如免疫介导的肝毒性的发生。深入了解免疫检查点抑制剂治疗肿瘤过程中导致肝损伤的发生情况、可能机制、危险因素等,有助于更好地临床管理。.

Keywords: Autoimmune; Hepatotoxicity; Immunological checkpoint inhibitors; Neoplasms.
