ABSTRACT
As a new type of anti-cancer drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown remarkable therapeutic effects in many malignant tumors. By virtue of their targets and mechanisms of action, ICIs can cause autoimmune and inflammatory effects, termed immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Unlike traditional therapies, irAEs are latent and unstable. Severe adverse reactions will force patients to discontinue treatment and even affect their survival. Therefore, with the wide application of ICIs in clinical practice, clinicians need to fully understand the possible adverse reactions of such drugs and appropriate treatment strategies, in order to improve the survival rate and treatment effect of patients receiving ICIs. In this article, we review the incidence, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of immune-related endocrine events that may occur with administration of ICIs.
