2018 Consensus of the French Society of Endocrinology: endocrine toxicities of cancer immunotherapies
2019
Immunotherapy induced side effects: Are frequent, usually well-tolerated, and can lead to thyroid, pituitary, and less frequently adrenals and pancreas (fulminant diabetes) disease,. Do not contra-indicate immunotherapy, and rarely require high dose glucocorticoids; Need to be screened for, as there are acute manifestations, and replacement treatments can be given lifelong; Require a pre-immunotherapy evaluation; Require a careful follow-up at least during the first 6 months of immunotherapy.
Endocrine side-effects of new anticancer therapies: Overall monitoring and conclusions
2018
IF 0.795 (2017); International audience; The present final consensus statement of the French Society of Endocrinology lays out the assessments that are to be systematically performed before and during anticancer treatment by immunotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors or mTOR inhibitors, even without onset of any endocrinopathy. It also discusses the CTCAE adverse event grading system in oncology and the difficulty of implementing it for endocrine side-effects of these anticancer treatments. Notably, this is why certain treatment steps applied in other side-effects (e.g., high-dose corticosteroids, contraindications to immunotherapy, etc.) need to be discussed before implementation for endocr…
