The Development of Persistent Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Patients With Melanoma Who Have Had an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Related Gastrointestinal Toxicity

Immune-related adverse events (irAE) secondary to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations, including gastritis, enteritis, and/or colitis. The long-term sequelae of ICI-associated GI toxicities (GI-irAE), particularly the development of disorders of gut-brain interaction, are not well known. We characterized the incidence of persistent GI symptoms after GI-irAE.
