Abstract

Immune checkpoint inhibition therapy (ICIT) is an emerging field in oncology especially opening new horizons to chemotherapy refractory patients. This paper provides deep insight into immune related adverse events (irAEs) posing a major challenge and drawback to ICIT, and presents right management strategies for very complex complications. Moreover, a non-linear mathematical approach to measure the ICIT success rate and a strategy to overcome or to delay the progression after initial good response to ICIT in a subset of patients are presented, respectively.

Comment: 1) Last sentence of abstract is modified.
2) A new subsection is added on pages 23-24.
3) A mathematical model is added in section "DISCUSSION" (changes start in the last paragraph of page 27 and end in the first paragraph of page 29).
4) Three more references are added (62-64). The subsequent ones are simply renumbered.
