SITC's Guide to Managing Immunotherapy Toxicity is a practical
reference to managing side effects associated with FDA-approved
cancer immunotherapy drugs. Separated into two parts, Part One
contains chapter-based overviews of immune checkpoint inhibitors in
the clinic, starting with Anti-CTLA4 agents, Anti-PD1/PD-L1 agents,
and approved immunotherapeutic combinations. These chapters cover
relevant mechanisms of action, indications, and toxicities seen
while combating early, advanced, and metastatic stages in cancer
patients. Part Two is structured by common and uncommon toxicities
that affect major organ sites throughout the body. It begins with a
general summary of principles and management options followed by
chapters focusing on specific toxicities such as rash and mucosal
irritation, muscle and joint toxicity, diarrhea and colitis,
pneumonitis, endocrine toxicities, neurological toxicities, cardiac
toxicity, renal toxicity, hematologic toxicity, and ocular
toxicities. Each chapter provides guidance on how to assess and
treat the toxicity and how to support the patient through acute and
chronic effects with detailed summary tables for quick reference.
Part Two concludes with chapters covering management of special
patient populations, including patients with autoimmune disease and
geriatric patients, treatment and management of fatigue, and a
final chapter dedicated to cost effectiveness and the toll of
'financial toxicity 'on patients and caregivers. With chapters
written by world recognized oncology leaders in the immuno-oncology
field, this text provides thorough coverage of the toxicity and
management of adverse effects for immune checkpoint inhibitors. It
is an indispensable resource for clinical oncologists, emergency
physicians, hospitalists and other medical practitioners in both
the hospital and community clinic settings, especially as the use
of immune checkpoint inhibitors becomes a fixture in oncology care.
Key Features: Outlines strategies for treating high-risk patients
facing an acute or chronic side effect to immunotherapy Provides
numerous tables that condense and highlight pertinent information
for quick reference Describes the various clinical presentations
and toxic reactions caused by immunotherapy Includes access to the
