免疫检查点抑制剂相关甲状腺毒症
Thyrotoxicosis Related to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
-
摘要: 免疫检查点抑制剂(immune checkpoint inhibitors, ICIs)是近年来恶性肿瘤治疗领域的一项重大突破。其通过针对T细胞的调节作用,增强抗肿瘤免疫反应,改善恶性肿瘤患者的预后,延长患者生存期,现已获批用于治疗多种肿瘤,但ICIs在应用过程中产生的甲状腺毒症是不容忽视的临床问题。本文对ICIs相关甲状腺毒症的发生机制、临床表现、处理对策等进行综述。Abstract: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have come out in recent years as a breakthrough of the treatments for malignant tumors by regulating T cells with the purpose of enhancing their anti-tumor response, which can improve prognosis and increase survival. However, thyrotoxicosis caused by ICIs has become a clinical problem that cannot be ignored. This review summarizes the pathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifesta-tions, and treatments of ICIs associated thyrotoxicosis.
