Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) frequently result in cutaneous immune-related adverse events (IrAEs). Although the majority of these events are mild-to-moderate in severity, up to 5% are severe, which may lead to morbidity and dose interruption or discontinuation of ICI therapy. In addition, up to 25% of dermatologic IrAEs are corticosteroid-refractory or corticosteroiddependent. These 2020 MASCC recommendations cover the diagnosis and management of cutaneous IrAEs with a focus on moderate-to-severe and corticosteroid-resistant events. Although the usage of immune-suppressive therapy has been advocated in this setting, there is a lack of randomized clinical trial data to provide a compelling level of evidence of its therapeutic benefit.

Introduction Dermatologic toxicities secondary to anti-CTLA-4 and antiPD-1/anti-PD-L1 inhibitors are the most common immunerelated adverse events (IrAEs) among all organ systems. Rash, pruritus, and vitiligo are most frequently observed, while immunobullous reactions and severe cutaneous adverse * Bernardo L.

events are less common, but are important to recognize and treat promptly. Rare adverse events (AEs) have been reported and continue to emerge daily. Cutaneous AEs may be a surrogate for clinical benefit; therefore, it is important to recognize these events and appropriately manage them, while trying to avoid discontinuation of immunotherapy if at all possible. With early diagnosis and prompt management, patients may
