Large language models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence models trained on vast text data to generate humanlike outputs. They have been applied to various tasks in health care, ranging from answering medical examination questions to generating clinical reports. ⋯ This review, coupled with a tutorial, provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of these areas with the aim of familiarizing health care professionals with the rapidly changing landscape of LLMs in medicine. Furthermore, the authors highlight active research areas in the field that promise to improve LLMs' usability in health care contexts.

Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are toxicities that arise after the administration of monoclonal antibodies targeting immune checkpoints (immune checkpoint inhibitors [ICIs]) in patients with cancer. They can occur at any time after initiation of ICI treatment, with a broad clinical phenotype that can be organ-specific or systemic. ⋯ Treatment should be tailored to the specific organ involved and the severity. Glucocorticoids are the first-line treatment for most irAEs, with immunosuppressants and biologics mainly used as second-line treatments.
