The role of IL‐6 in immunotherapy of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with immune‐related adverse events (irAEs)

IL‐6 is a cytokine that plays an important role in response to injury or infection and is a promising biomarker for predicting poor prognosis and therapeutic targets in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This article reviews the biochemical mechanism, function and genotype of IL‐6, and summarizes t...
