Fluctuations in routine blood count might signal severe immune-related adverse events in melanoma patients treated with nivolumab

Our results suggest that increased WBC count and decreased RLC are associated with G3/4 and lung/GI irAEs. Our analysis was based on the data point at which irAE occurrence was noticed and, therefore, these factors are not predictive, however, they could be a “signal” of severe irAE occurrence in patients with melanoma treated with nivolumab.
