Treatment Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI)

What immune-related side effects can I expect from ICI?

ICI treatment may cause the immune system to attack healthy cells – not just cancer cells.
This may result in immune-related side effects.

• ICI is given to help limit growth of cancer cells. It may also affect some of the healthy cells in the body.
This may result in side effects.

• It is important that you tell your doctor (or cancer care nurse or pharmacist) of any side effects that you experience
during your treatment. Your cancer care team has many ways to manage these side effects.

• You can help your doctor to help you by keeping track of the side effects you experience in the diary section of this
booklet.

Immune-related side effects should be reported to your cancer care team without delay.
See Monitoring for more information on immune-related side effects
