Popis: | Cancer immunotherapies can successfully activate immune responses towards certain tumors. However, this can also result in the development of treatment-induced immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in multiple tissues. Growing evidence suggests that cytokine production in response to these therapeutics potentiates the development of irAEs and may have predictive value as biomarkers for irAE occurrence. In addition, therapeutic agents that inhibit cytokine activity can limit the severity of irAEs, and their use is being tested in the clinical setting. This review provides an in-depth analysis of strategies to uncouple the cytokine response, that precipitates irAEs following cancer immunotherapies, from the benefit gained in promoting antitumor immunity. |
