Abstract

Oncological treatments with checkpoint inhibitors (PCI) have increased in recent years and reached 43.6% of indications in 2020.

Immune-mediated cutaneous adverse events (EACI) affect up to 40% of patients.

This multicenter study evaluated the implications of EACIs as good prognostic markers of therapeutic response to PCI.

3,731 patients treated with PCI between 2011 and 2020 were analyzed, of which 676 had AECI and the remaining 3,055 (those who did not have such effects) were taken as a control group.
