Abstract
In addition to immune checkpoint inhibitors, several other forms of immunotherapy have been used to treat malignancies, some for decades. Furthermore, there have been other advances in the field with novel treatments that target the immune system in different ways, including adoptive cell transfer, cytokine therapy, and vaccines. In this chapter, we review the common immune-related adverse events associated with anti-neoplastic immunotherapy. We also discuss the severity of patients' symptoms and current treatments available to address these adverse events.
