BACKGROUND: Although anticancer treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) axitinib frequently causes thyroid dysfunction, the associated mechanism and clinical features have not been elucidated.
METHODS: Six patients were treated with axitinib for metastatic renal cell carcinoma at the Hamamatsu University School of Medicine between 2008 and 2010. We reviewed their thyroid function results and compared them to those of patients treated with two other TKIs, sunitinib or sorafenib, and to those of subjects with normal hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) function.
RESULTS: Axitinib-induced thyroid dysfunction was observed in all patients, and two patterns were observed: increased serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels within one month after administration occurred in five patients and transient thyrotoxicosis due to destructive thyroiditis occurred in five patients within 7 months of treatment. Four patients exhibited both. When the relationship between the serum TSH and thyroid hormones was evaluated using plots of TSH versus both free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine, four patients showed an inappropriate elevation of serum TSH during administration of axitinib. Their values apparently shifted against the regression line compared to data from patients with a normal HPT function. A similar tendency, though weaker, was observed in some patients treated with sunitinib or sorafenib.
CONCLUSION: This is the first study to report an inappropriate elevation of serum TSH levels in patients treated with axitinib.
