Side skin reactions of multikinase inhibitors in treatment of thyroid cancer

Dermal toxicity of anti-cancer drugs apparent in patients with thyroid cancer. This side effect appears, in particular, in relation to increased administration of targeted anti-cancer treatment, especially tyrosinkinase inhibitors, towards various receptors of growth factors which are applied in the ethiopathogenesis of a tumor cell. Our article focuses on the dermatotoxity, designated also as skin reaction, which most frequently occurs in patients treated by tyrosinkinase inhibitors – sorafenib, vandetonib, cabozantinib and lenvantinib. High prevalence of dermatotoxity, reported by patients, treated with these drugs underscores the need for greater understanding of the pathogenesis and management of this syndrome.

Vitalkapazitätsverlust bei systemischer Sklerose mit ILD verlangsamen

Eine häufige Manifestation und eine führende erkrankungsbedingte Todesursache bei systemischer Sklerose ist eine interstitielle Lungenerkrankung (ILD). Präklinische Untersuchungen haben auf einen antifibrotischen und antiinflammatorischen Effekt des für die Therapie der idiopathischen Lungenfibrose (IPF) zugelassenen Tyrosinkinase-Inhibitors (TKI) Nintedanib in dieser Situation hingewiesen.
