Immunotherapy was announced by the America Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) as the top cancer advance of 2015. There has been a paradigm shift towards immuno-oncology therapy, and its side effects are often referred to as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). These side effects are, in some cases, unique and very different than those associated with chemotherapy or targeted drugs. Clinicians should be aware that there is a broad spectrum of additional toxicities that can be both unpredictable and severe. Early recognition and aggressive management of irAEs are essential to decrease morbidity and mortality.
