A systematic review on the emerging association between the occurrence of immune-related adverse events and clinical outcomes with checkpoint inhibitors in advanced cancer patients

Despite toxicities pharmacodynamics effects, the misunderstanding has always been around the corner: AEs themselves could lead to morbidity and mortality; on the other hand, the choice of the clinical outcomes to measure is not univocal.
