The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. In the Table 1, some of the endocrine tests every 3–6 months are misplaced under the column "every 4–6 weeks".

Table 1.

dDuring the first 4 doses before every ICI administration, thereafter every 3 doses

ePatients with preexisting diarrhea

fPatients with preexisting lung disease or radiotherapy to the lung or mediastinum

The correct Table 1 should be as indicated in the next page.
