Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) are well-recognized complications of CAR-T therapy, a distinct entity termed tumor inflammation-associated neurotoxicity (TIAN) has emerged as a critical consideration, particularly in the context of CNS tumors. TIAN is characterized by localized neurotoxicity arising from inflammation within the CNS tumor microenvironment. This localized inflammation can manifest in two primary forms: Type 1 TIAN, driven by peritumoral edema leading to increased intracranial pressure and potentially life-threatening herniation; and Type 2 TIAN, resulting from neural-immune interactions that disrupt local neural function, even in the absence of significant edema. This distinction from the more systemic toxicities of CRS and ICANS is paramount for accurate diagnosis, appropriate management, and improved patient outcomes. The unique pathophysiology of TIAN, often occurring in the complex setting of pre-existing CNS pathology, necessitates specialized diagnostic and monitoring approaches.
