medwireNews: ESMO has released an updated version of its Clinical Practice Guideline for the management of immunotherapy-related toxicities in people with cancer.
The document is published in the Annals of Oncology and supersedes the previous version from 2017.
The authors – a multidisciplinary group of experts from Europe, Australia, and the USA – address the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of the most common immunotherapy-related adverse events, including cardiovascular, dermatologic, gastrointestinal, neurologic, and pulmonary toxicities as well as endocrinopathies. They provide guidance on assessment and treatment algorithms according to the grade of toxicity.
The “[r]ecommendations are based on available scientific data and [our] collective expert opinion,” note the guideline authors, adding that they followed the ESMO standard operating procedures for Clinical Practice Guideline development.
