Over the last decade or so, immunotherapy and in particular immune checkpoint inhibitors have become common in the treatment of numerous cancers and have revolutionised oncology. The unique mechanisms of these agents has resulted in novel tumour response patterns and also new drug-related toxicities, both of which can have specific findings on imaging. The widespread and increasing use of these agents means these findings are now encountered across many radiology practices beyond just specialist oncology units. This pictorial essay aims to describe and illustrate imaging findings associated with common and important immune-related adverse events as a result of treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...
