Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionised management for a variety of different types of malignancies. However, gastrointestinal adverse effects, in particular colitis and hepatitis, are relatively common with up to 30 % of patients being affected. The gut microbiome has emerged as a potential contributor to both the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors and their side effects. This review will attempt to examine the impact the microbiome has on adverse effects as a result of immune checkpoint inhibitors as well as the potential for manipulation of the microbiome as a form of management for immune mediated colitis.
