Abstract: Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is the most common histological type of lung cancer,which is mostly diagnosed at advanced stage and has a high mortality.The application of immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)has significantly improved the 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced NSCLC,but while bringing survival benefits,it also leads to adverse events that are different from traditional treatment regimens,namely immune-related adverse events(irAEs).In recent years,the correlation between irAEs and clinical efficacy of ICIs has become a research hotspot.This article reviews the research progress on the correlation between irAEs and the efficacy of immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC.

Key words: Immune checkpoint inhibitors, Immune-related adverse events, Efficacy, Non-small cell lung cancer
