[Neurological side effects of checkpoint inhibitors].

CONCLUSION: Against the background of a rapidly increasing use of checkpoint inhibitors, this article provides an overview of currently available reports on the clinical courses of neurological side effects. Controlled studies on the treatment of neurological side effects are lacking. From case studies it can be assumed that early steroid treatment increases the probability of a complete remission of neurological symptoms. Typical symptom constellations must therefore be rapidly recognized and an immunosuppressive treatment must be initiated. PMID: 30073487 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
