Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Recently, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have emerged as a new class of anticancer therapy. Although generally considered less toxic than cytotoxic chemotherapy, TKIs do cause significant side effects including fatigue and hypertension. In addition, thyroid dysfunction is a well-known adverse effect of TKI. AREAS COVERED: This review provides a comprehensive assessment of TKI-induced thyroid dysfunctions by sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib, imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, vandetanib, axitinib, motesanib and tivozanib. Furthermore, the potential mechanisms that result in this toxicity, the clinical impact of thyroid dysfunction in these patients and the controversies regarding treatment with thyroid hormone (TH) therapy are evaluated. EXPERT OPINION: Detection of TKI-induced thyroid dysfunction requires routine monitoring of thyroid function and may necessitate treatment. Potential benefits in developing thyroid dysfunction and potential harm in treating it necessitate controlled studies. Finally, if treatment is pursued, appropriate dosing and timing of TH replacement will require prospective clinical evaluation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
