Diabetes mellitus (DM) has become a serious public health problem. There are many types of hypoglycemic drugs and various treatment options available to treat DM, especially with the approval and marketing of new hypoglycemic drugs. Improper use of hypoglycemic drugs can cause drug-related problems (DRP), which affects the effectiveness of treatment. As a chronic disease, DM requires long-term medication treatment. Poor medication adherence can lead to disease progression, disability, and death. Pharmaceutical care programs are crucial for the management of DM. It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the economic, clinical, and humanistic outcomes of pharmaceutical care programs in the care of diabetes. It is also essential to assess the effectiveness, safety, and economics of diabetic drugs and treatment regimens to provide a basis for clinical and management decisions.

Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have received a lot of attention to treat gastrointestinal cancers. Compared with traditional treatments, immunotherapy can kill cancer cells by activating the antitumor immunity, the specific recognition of cancer antigens preventing normal cells from being attacked. However, the application of ICIs is accompanied by a series of specific toxic reactions caused by the functional stimulation of the immune system, which are called immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Early identification and timely intervention to handle irAEs are usually required to maximize the therapeutic effect of ICIs. In addition, related surgical complications after neoadj...
