ABSTRACT
Programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1)/PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) maintains immune tolerance of normal tissues and mediates immune escape of tumors. For autoimmune thyroiditis, thyroid follicular epithelial cells inhibit the damage of T cells by up-regulating PD-L1 expression. With the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the field of cancer therapy, the incidence of immune-related thyroid disorders caused by ICIs has increased. Thyroid function should be monitored during and after ICIs treatment to promptly diagnose primary and (or) secondary thyroid disorders. The PD-1/PD-L1 signaling directly stimulates thyroid cancer cells, and exerts inhibitory effects on tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Combination of ICIs targeting PD-1/PD-L1 with chemo-radiotherapy or targeted therapy is a promising therapeutic strategy in the treatment of refractory thyroid cancers.
