AB  - Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI) have shown considerable promise in the treatment of tumors. However, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) caused by ICPI have been reported in nearly every organ system. Whilst this represents a new challenge in the field of cancer treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) provides benefits in the treatment of irAEs. This article reviews the studies of the treatment of immune-related gastrointestinal diseases and dermatosis with TCM and introduces the collaborative efforts between China and France in the implementation of TCM for the treatment of irAEs.
