In cancer, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) improve patient survival but may lead to severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Rheumatic irAEs are a distinct entity that are much more common in a real-life than in clinical trial reports due to their unspecific symptoms and them being a rare cause of hospitalization. This review focuses on an interdisciplinary approach to the management of rheumatic irAEs, including cooperation between oncologists, rheumatologists, and immunologists. We discuss the immunological background of rheumatic irAEs, as well as their unique clinical characteristics, differentiation from other irAEs, and treatment strategies. Importantly, steroids are not the basis of therapy, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be administered in the front line with other antirheumatic agents. We also address whether patients with pre-existing rheumatic autoimmune diseases can receive ICIs and how antirheumatic agents can interfere with ICIs. Interestingly, there is a preclinical rationale for combining ICIs with immunosuppressants, particularly tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 6 inhibitors. Regardless of the data, the mainstay in managing irAEs is interdisciplinary cooperation between oncologists and other medical specialties.
