Interstitial lung disease (ILD) induced by anti‐programmed‐cell death‐1 (PD‐1) and anti‐PD‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) is potentially life‐threatening and is a common reason of the discontinuation of therapy. In contrast, an enhancement in antitumor effects was reported in patients who developed immune‐related adverse events, including ILD. Although recent evidence suggests that radiologic patterns of ILD may reflect the severity of ILD and the antitumor immune responses to anti‐PD‐1/PD‐L1 therapies, the association between radiologic features and clinical outcomes remains unclear.
