Uveitis associated with cancer immunotherapy: long-term outcomes.

We report the long-term outcome of uveitis associated with cancer immunotherapy (CIT).  This retrospective review included serial patients with CIT-associated uveitis treated using various regimen. Eight patients treated with rituximab (anti-CD20), nivolumab (anti-PD-1), ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4), vemurafenib and dabrafenib (anti-BRAF), trametinib (anti-MEK) and ibritunib showed uveitis with hypopion (one patient), macular edema (five patients) and choroiditis (two patients). Various regimens of corticosteroid therapy showed a favorable ophthalmological outcome, whether the CIT was continuing or suspended. Local corticosteroid injections in combination with CIT could be suggested as a first-line treatment. This could help to preserve the quality of life without threatening the vital prognosis.
