ABSTRACT Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become transformative therapies, significantly enhancing survival outcomes for various neoplasms. However, they often trigger immune-related adverse events, including endocrinopathies. Cushing’s syndrome, characterized by exposure to elevated levels of circulating cortisol, presents a wide range of clinical features and is closely associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This article reports on a case of a patient under checkpoint inhibitor therapy, who developed cyclic adrenocorticotropic hormone-dependent hypercortisolism. The patient exhibited a Cushingoid phenotype, and testing revealed increased […]

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the association between the patients’ characteristics and the development of endocrine toxicity and to assess the association between endocrine-related adverse effects (ERAE) development and mortality. Subjects and methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in 98 patients submitted to immunotherapy in our centre since its introduction in 2015 until March 2021. We excluded patients for which data regarding the corticotroph axis evaluation was missing. We used linear and logistic regression models to address our aims. Results: […]
