Pancreas-specific immune-related adverse events in patients with lung cancer: a case series study.

Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are one of the key concerns in cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Among the various irAEs, pancreas-specific irAE is a rare but special one with a variety of manifestations, such as pancreatic enzymes elevation, pancreatitis as well as diabetes. The current study reported 22 pancreas-specific irAEs in 21 patients with lung cancer, including pancreatic injury in 13 patients, pancreatitis in four patients and diabetes mellitus in five patients.
