Increased Tuberculosis Reactivation Risk in Patients Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Based Therapy.

The use of ICIs may be linked to a higher likelihood of TB reactivation and LTBI than individuals solely receiving TKIs as anticancer therapy. Consequently, the implementation of a screening program for TB reactivation and LTBI among patients undergoing ICI treatment could prove advantageous by enabling early detection and prompt treatment of the infection.
