Recommendations for standardizing biopsy acquisition and histological assessment of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated colitis. J Immunother Cancer. 2022 Mar;10(3):e004560.

Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated colitis (ICIC) affects approximately 15% of cancer patients treated with immunotherapy. Although histological evaluation is potentially valuable for both the diagnosis of ICIC and evaluation of disease activity, use in clinical practice is heterogeneous. We aimed to develop expert recommendations to standardize histological assessment of disease activity in patients with ICIC.
