Matthew Burke, MBA, RN, MSN, APRN-BC, Oncology Nurse Practitioner/Melanoma and Renal Cell Carincoma, Yale New Haven Hospital, discusses the difference between adverse events caused by chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Clinical Pearls:
- Chemotherapy-related adverse events are usually limited to the time that the drug is in the patient’s body
- Immunotherapy agents cause modifications in the checkpoints of the immune system that may be permanent
- Because the immune system is altered during treatment, the severity of immunotherapy-related adverse events can be much worse than chemotherapy-related adverse events
- It is currently difficult to predict which patients will experience severe adverse events from immunotherapy treatment
