Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that helps your immune system recognise and fight off cancer cells. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) are a type of Immunotherapy that block proteins that stop the immune system from attacking cancer cells.

Immunotherapy can be used to treat many different types of cancer. This study is looking at patients with gastrointestinal cancer who are being treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors. Gastrointestinal cancers include oesophagus, stomach, liver (HCC), small and large intestine, pancreas, biliary system, colon, rectum and anus cancer.

We would like to hear about your experience of this treatment, and if you developed any side effects. We will use this information to see if we can improve patient care and follow up.

If you are or have been treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for gastrointestinal cancer or any other type of cancer (or you are a carer of someone in this position) please:

  • Share your story below - tell us about your experience of treatment and the information and support received from healthcare professionals. You can also email this to [email protected]
  • Share your ideas below - where do you go for information, advice and support?
  • Be part of a patient advisory group to support the research and have input into the design of this project. This will be a virtual group that will meet at key points in the project. Email [email protected] to register your interest.
