Immunotherapy patient information leaflet

This patient information leaflet provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand overview of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for individuals undergoing cancer treatment.

It covers the fundamentals of immunotherapy, how treatment is administered, what patients should expect throughout their care pathway, and clear guidance on recognising and responding to immune-related side effects.

It also includes practical advice on vaccines, travel, lifestyle, concomitant medications, and the management of steroid or hormone-replacement needs.

Designed for use in oncology centres, triage services, and clinical consultations, the leaflet supports informed consent, standardised patient education, and safe escalation pathways.

It is suitable for patients receiving any checkpoint inhibitor (alone or in combination), and includes dedicated sections for documenting local treatment centre details and regimen-specific information.
