Introduction Anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibodies and anti-programmed cell death 1 ligand (PDL1) antibodies are immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) currently being used for the treatment of many cancers, including metastatic melanoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and colorectal cancer. The ICI can be used either alone or in combination with other therapies. However, by disrupting the balance or the control of the immune system, these immune checkpoint inhibitors, can also generate autoimmune toxicities, which mainly involve the gut, skin, endocrine glands, liver, and lungs, but can affect any tissue. This review, provides an overview of the latest and most relevant blood and histopathological biomarkers which can be used to predict or detect the organ specific adverse effects following the use of ICI. Where appropriate, other biomarkers that can be used to detect or predict organ specific adverse effects are described.","PeriodicalId":64349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Oncology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69825127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
