Immune check point inhibitors (ICPIs) are a new class of anti-neoplastic agents being increasingly used by oncologists to treat various malignancies. These drugs have been associated with varied side effects and have a nephrotoxic potential. Many cases of ICPI induced acute kidney injury are increasingly being reported. Their use in CKD patients on dialysis as well as in kidney transplant recipients is associated with various challenges. This review discusses the use of ICPIs in CKD, dialysis and renal transplant patients and their nephrotoxic potential

In head and neck cancer management, there is a need for tailored approaches to optimally implement clinical outcomes. Based on the assumption that efficacy and long-term toxicity are not satisfactory for standard concurrent platinum-based chemoradiotherapy, several trials have been designed to test whether induction immunotherapy and/or concomitant immunotherapy and radiotherapy result in improved survival and toxicity outcomes. Here, we present an overview of the most recent concomitant therapeutic strategies for head and neck cancer, focusing on the knowledge available regarding check-point inhibitors. The aim is to present the characteristics of the main check-point inhibitors and to summarize the clinical trials on the combination of immune check-point inhibitors and (chemo)radiotherapy in the definitive HNC setting, in order to provide a useful clinical tool for further research.

Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors significantly improves the outcome for stage III and IV melanoma. Cutaneous adverse events during treatment are often reported. We herein aim to review the principal pigmentation changes induced by immune check-point inhibitors: the appearance of vitiligo, the Sutton phenomenon, melanosis and hair and nail toxicities.

Check-point inhibitors have erupted as a treatment option for numerous kinds of neoplasms. Although there have been some achievements, the evidence supporting their use in breast cancer is scarce. Combinations with chemotherapy seem to provide better outcomes, and triple negative is the subtype most likely to benefit from them. New combination strategies are undergoing research to improve these results. Other approaches to determining biomarkers that identify which populations clearly benefit from these therapies are needed. Here, we review the clinical data of the role of immune check-point inhibitors in early and advanced breast cancer and present emerging strategies.
