Evaluation of emergency department visits and immune-related adverse effects (irAEs) in patients treated with nivolumab.

A significant proportion of the patients treated with nivolumab for advanced cancer present to ED for ICI-related adverse events, although most cases were not attributable to irAEs. Due to the vague symptomatology of irAEs, their recognition and diagnosis in the ED can be challenging. Close collaboration between ED physicians and oncologists is paramount to the management of patients with cancer in the ED.
