Abstract

The evaluation and management of patients with cancer with suspected immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) colitis have distinct challenges within the setting of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. The approach to the treatment of patients with ICI colitis requires consideration of the risks and benefits of individual immunosuppressive medications and varies based on the presence of a concurrent COVID‐19 infection.
