Immune side-effects are usually treated with high-dose steroids, which may also switch off the anti-cancer response. Targeted alternatives may control the side-effect and keep the benefit.
High cumulative corticosteroid exposure for immune-related adverse events is associated with worse cancer outcomes in several cohorts, although confounding by severity is hard to exclude. Targeted alternatives (early infliximab or vedolizumab for colitis, tocilizumab for arthritis and some pneumonitis, topical or organ-directed therapy) could resolve toxicity with less systemic immunosuppression. A randomised comparison has never been done with cancer outcome as an endpoint.
