Hematological immune-related adverse events associated with checkpoint inhibitors.

Recognition and management guidance for hidden blood-related side effects helps oncologists better protect patients receiving checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.

This review consolidates evidence on hematological irAEs from checkpoint inhibitors, encompassing autoimmune cytopenias, aplastic anemia, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in cancer patients receiving ICI therapy. It directly intersects hematology and immunotherapy and offers clinicians management guidance for under-recognized toxicities.
