Pathogenesis and treatment strategies of novel coronavirus pneumonia: Reflections on immune checkpoint inhibitor-related adverse events in lung cancer / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

@#In December 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) occurred in Wuhan, China. The lung imaging finding is like that of the lung cancer immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) associated pneumonia. Therefore, we speculated that they may have similar pathogenesis and treatment strategies, which is reviewed in this article in order to provide some reference to timely and effectively reduce the fatality rate of COVID-19.
