[Activities and Future Prospects of the irAE Supporting Team in Our Institute]

At Higashiosaka City Medical Center, we have established an immune‒related adverse event (irAE) supporting team, which has been working with multiple professions with 2 policies for its activities: early diagnosis and early treatment of irAEs, and sharing of information on irAEs among multiple professions. The more severe the irAE and the more urgent it is, the more likely it is that patients will visit the hospital unscheduled, but even in Grade 3 or higher cases, 49.3% of patients wait until a scheduled visit. We hope that our activities of the irAE supporting team will encourage spontaneous reporting from patients and their families, leading to early diagnosis and early treatment before the condition worsens.
