However, this treatment introduces unique immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which require careful management due to their potential to affect multiple organ systems. IrAEs can manifest during or after treatment, affecting organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine glands, lungs, and liver, with symptoms ranging from mild to life threatening. \n\nWhile irAEs are distinct from those seen in traditional cancer treatments, their early recognition and appropriate management are crucial. Steroid therapy and other immunosuppressive treatments are often necessary to mitigate these effects. Guidelines from organizations like ESMO and ASCO recommend a structured approach for evaluating and managing irAEs, including staging the severity, ruling out other diagnoses, and adjusting treatment protocols accordingly. \n\nMedical doctors need to stay vigilant, as the indications for immune checkpoint inhibitors continue to expand. The potential for delayed onset of irAEs months after treatment cessation increases the importance of maintaining irAEs on the differential diagnosis list for an extended period, even after patients have stopped immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17992\/lbl.2025.0708.849","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]],"date-time":"2025-07-01T14:55:11Z","timestamp":1751381711000},"page":"318-324","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["\u00dalfur \u00ed sau\u00f0arg\u00e6ru \u2013   birtingarmynd og fj\u00f6lbreytileiki aukaverkana me\u00f0 \u00f3n\u00e6mis\u00f6rvandi krabbameinslyfjame\u00f0fer\u00f0"],"prefix":"10.17992","volume":"111","author":[{"name":"University of Iceland, Faculty of Medicine, Landspitali - University Hospital, Department of Medical Oncology","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivan","family":"Robertsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Orvar","family":"Gunnarsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elsa","family":"Jonsdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agnes","family":"Smaradottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sigurdis","family":"Haraldsdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7439","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,3]]},"container-title":["Laeknabladid"],"original-title":["A Wolf in Sheep\u2019s Clothing \u2013  Manifestation and Diversity of Immune-Related Adverse Events in Cancer Immunotherapy"],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]],"date-time":"2025-07-01T14:55:12Z","timestamp":1751381712000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.laeknabladid.is\/tolublod\/2025\/0708\/sjukratilfelli.-ulfur-i-saudargaeru-birtingarmynd-og-fjolbreytileiki-aukaverkana-med-onaemisorvandi-krabbameinslyfjamedferd"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"07\/08","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,3]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17992\/lbl.2025.0708.849","relation":{},"ISSN":["0023-7213","1670-4959"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0023-7213","type":"print"},{"value":"1670-4959","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,3]]}}}
