Cover Story: The relationship between polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy seems to be based on a precarious balance. As shown by our literature review, failure to use validated scales for adverse drug reaction assessment and diagnostic/classification criteria for PMR results in extremely uncertain causal correlations. Consistent use of scales and assessment criteria by future research will help us understand and balance this relationship. View this paper
