Radiological Imaging of Adverse Events to Immunotherapy
At present, immunotherapy is successfully used for the treatment of multiple malignant diseases, especially in the late stages of metastatic tumors, which until now, were difficult to treat using standards protocols. Positive therapeutic effects of immunotherapy were demonstrated in treatment of many common oncological diseases. However, despite the expressed positive effect, in some patients immunotherapy can demonstrate non-typical forms of the answer. To establish accurate diagnosis it is necessary to know radiological manifestations of immune-related adverse events (irAE), mainly, immune-mediated pneumonitis, colitis, hypophysitis, hepatitis and myositis. Early identification and the corresponding treatment of irAE may improve patient's outcomes.
