Immune checkpoint blockade with antibodies against programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)
receptor and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) has become a new game changer
in the treatment of cancer, showing unprecedented clinical efficacy. As a result of excessive immunity against healthy organs, the use of these drugs
is associated with a wide spectrum of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such
as enterocolitis [
