description Over the years, immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has become an effective treatment for malignant neoplasms. However, checkpoints play a crucial role in immunological tolerance and prevention of autoimmune diseases. Interfering with this mechanism can cause immune-related adverse events (IRAEs) that affect multiple organs in the body. Endocrinopathies are among the most common IRAES associated with ICI therapy. Given the unique nature of adverse events caused by the use of ICI drugs, a multidisciplinary team approach is required to effectively manage patients, minimize complications associated with drug toxicity, and fully realize the therapeutic potential of this treatment method. Taking into account the difficulty of detecting nonspecific symptoms, the importance of follow-up and timely intervention in case of toxicity detection, regular clinical and laboratory monitoring is necessary, as well as informing patients and doctors about the variants of endocrine adverse events and their treatment. While non-endocrine IRAES often require discontinuation of immunotherapy and are usually resolved by immunosuppressive therapy with high doses of glucocorticoids, endocrine IRAES usually do not need discontinuation of ICI treatment and rarely require immunosuppressive therapy, but seldomly regress and therefore demand a long-term treatment.
