Increased Risk of Tuberculosis Disease in Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy: A Retrospective Multicenter Study
Treatment with ICI in lung cancer patients was associated with a statistically significant increase in the risk of TB disease occurrence compared to conventional platinum-based chemotherapy. Therefore, particularly in patients treated with ICI therapy, prompt respiratory sample tests should be performed for early TB disease diagnosis when new lung lesions are identified. .
