The increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in tumors has brought new hope of survival to patients with advanced tumors. However, the immune system activated by immune checkpoint inhibitors, mainly activated T-cells, can attack normal tissues and organs in the body and lead to a variety of adverse effects. In the lung, these attacks can induce checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP). CIP is different from known pulmonary interstitial pneumonitis, and has the potential to be fatal if not treated correctly. In this review, we summarize the characteristics of CIP and provide advice on how to manage this disease.
免疫检查点抑制剂在肿瘤中的应用日益增多,为晚期肿瘤患者带来了新的生存希望。然而,免疫检查点抑制剂激活的免疫系统,主要是激活的 T 细胞,可攻击体内的正常组织和器官,导致多种不良反应。在肺部,这些攻击可诱发免疫检查点抑制剂性肺炎(CIP)。CIP 不同于已知的肺间质肺炎,如不正确治疗,有致命的可能。本综述总结了 CIP 的特征,并就如何管理该病提供了建议。
