    UCSF Cancer Immunotherapy Toxicity Evaluation (CITE) Program

    Immunotherapy harnesses the patient's own immune system to help fight their cancer. These cutting-edge treatments – which include cancer vaccines, cellular therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors and other drugs – can sometimes overstimulate the immune system, leading to side effects that range from minor to serious.

    Some side effects are easily managed with steroids, while others require care from experts in specific organ systems or immunosuppression (techniques to curb the immune response). Sometimes these side effects necessitate suspending the patient's cancer treatment, and there may be questions about whether it's safe to restart.

    The UCSF Cancer Immunotherapy Toxicity Evaluation (CITE) Program cares for patients with complex, difficult-to-treat side effects from immunotherapy. If you're experiencing such side effects, you may be finding it challenging to get a correct diagnosis and access to appropriate providers. The CITE Program brings together a dedicated, experienced team of oncologists and other specialists – including endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, neurologists, dermatologists and others – who will collaboratively manage your condition.
