Abstract

BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy agents have unique symptomatic side effects; patient-reported outcomes (PROs) can help to characterize the benefits and burdens associated with therapy. Common immunotherapyassociated symptoms include pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, and irregular bowel patterns. The purpose of this study was to assess the severity of symptoms and their association with imaging changes in CNS tumor patients undergoing single agent or combination treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
