  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have recently been approved for the treatment of cancer, and the number of cancer patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) receiving ICIs is growing rapidly. However, whether CLD affects the efficiency and safety of ICIs is becoming a research focus. This review summarizes the efficiency and safety of ICIs in cancer patients with CLD, including chronic viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune liver disease, and cirrhosis. Specifically, data on hepatitis B virus reactivation of patients with chronic hepatitis B after ICIs treatment were reviewed, which may help to perfect and standardize the guidelines of treatment and following-up for ICIs in CLD patients.
