Objective To systematically review the incidence of adverse skin reactions in lung cancer patients treated by immunotherapy. Methods PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect the studies on the incidence of skin adverse reactions in lung cancer patients treated with immunotherapy from June 2011 to June 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using Stata 15.0 software. Results A total of 63 studies were included, with a total sample size of 13 386 cases. The results of meta-analysis showed that the overall incidence of adverse skin reactions in lung cancer patients was 14.0% (95%CI 11.6% to 16.5%). Conclusion Current evidence shows that the incidence of adverse skin reactions in lung cancer patients with immunotherapy is high. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
