    Abstract : Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) activate T cells to kill cancer cells by blocking inhibitory receptors PD-1 (nivolumab; nivo) or CTLA-4 (ipilimumab; ipi). Activated T cells can also attack any healthy organ, causing unpredictable immune related adverse events (irAE). The risk of irAE is highest when treating with ipi and nivo simultaneously. READ MORE
