Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer therapy but are associated with a risk of endocrine immune-related adverse events, including pituitary complications. Autoimmune hypophysitis, traditionally a rare diagnosis, has become a more frequently encountered clinical entity with the emergence of antitumor immunotherapy. This mini-review aims to consolidate current knowledge, encompassing the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of pituitary complications of immune checkpoint inhibitor use.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Endocrinology is to be the authoritative source of emerging hormone science and to disseminate that new knowledge to scientists, clinicians, and the public in a way that will enable "hormone science to health." Endocrinology welcomes the submission of original research investigating endocrine systems and diseases at all levels of biological organization, incorporating molecular mechanistic studies, such as hormone-receptor interactions, in all areas of endocrinology, as well as cross-disciplinary and integrative studies. The editors of Endocrinology encourage the submission of research in emerging areas not traditionally recognized as endocrinology or metabolism in addition to the following traditionally recognized fields: Adrenal; Bone Health and Osteoporosis; Cardiovascular Endocrinology; Diabetes; Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals; Endocrine Neoplasia and Cancer; Growth; Neuroendocrinology; Nuclear Receptors and Their Ligands; Obesity; Reproductive Endocrinology; Signaling Pathways; and Thyroid.
