abstract = {Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a central
part of cancer care. However, the survivorship outcomes in
patients treated with ICIs are understudied. Therefore, we
conducted a scoping review to evaluate the current status of
the field and to establish research gaps regarding
survivorship outcomes with ICIs in real-life cohorts.We used
the Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase databases to
systematically filter published studies with real-life
cohorts from January 1, 2010, until October 19, 2022.
Studies evaluating at least one survivorship outcome in
ICI-treated patients were included.A total of 39 papers were
included. Quality of life (QoL) (n = 23), toxicity burden (n
= 16), and psychosocial issues (n = 9) were the most
frequently evaluated survivorship outcomes. Anti-PD-1/PD-L1
monotherapy and a response to treatment were associated with
better QoL. In addition, the ICIs were associated with grade
3 or higher immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in
$10-15\%$ and late/long-term irAEs in $20-30\%$ of the
survivors. Regarding psychosocial problems, over $30\%$ of
survivors showed evidence of anxiety and depression, and
$30-40\%$ of survivors reported neurocognitive
impairments.The survivors treated with ICIs have impairments
in most survivorship domains. Further research is needed to
gather data on the understudied survivorship outcomes like
late and long-term effects, fertility, financial toxicity,
and return to work in survivors treated with ICIs.Available
evidence demonstrates that a significant portion of
survivors treated with ICIs have a significant toxicity
burden, lower QoL than the general population, and a high
rate of psychosocial problems.},
