Meta analysis of Immune checkpoint inhibitor induced cardiotoxicity

Tanja Obradovic shared on LinkedIn:

“Important article reporting outstanding work of systematic review and meta analysis of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) induced cardiotoxicity is just out. Authors concluded that although ICI-induced myocarditis is relatively rare (approximately 1% incidence) it is associated with substantial mortality rate of 38%. This suggest that it is highly important for clinicians to be knowledgeable about recognition of ICI-induced myocarditis symptoms and management.

Considering large number of cancer patients worldwide receiving ICIs administered for at least 40 different malignancy indications kudos to authors for contributing to deeper understanding of toxicities and highlighting improvements in appropriate treatments as of great importance for improved cancer patient care.”
