The Continuum of Thyroid Disorders Related to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Still Many Pending Queries

Background: Until more data are available to shed light on the thyroid disorders related to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPi) implemented for the treatment of hematological malignancies, the decision-making is guided by pertinent data derived mostly from solid tumors. Methods: The present review p...
