Abstract

We analyzed CTCAE adverse events of sequential Carbon Ion radiotherapy (CIRT) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in advanced melanoma patients. The frequencies of early and late adverse events (AEs) were 100% and 82% of patients, respectively. The frequency of G3+ AEs was in line with the literature.
