The US Food and Drug Administration-approved BRAF inhibitors, vemurafenib and dabrafenib, have demonstrated superior efficacy in patients with BRAF-mutant melanomas but have limited efficacy in BRAF-mutant colorectal cancer. Little is known at this time regarding BRAF inhibitors in thyroid cancer. Initial reports in patients with progressive, radioactive iodine-refractory BRAF-mutant papillary thyroid cancer suggest response rates of approximately 30-40%. In this review, we discuss BRAF inhibitors in the context of thyroid cancer, the toxicities associated with BRAF inhibitors, and the suggested management of those toxicities. The management of vemurafenib and dabrafenib toxicities is applicable across all tumor types and may serve as a practical guide to their use.
美国食品药品监督管理局批准的BRAF抑制剂维莫非尼和达拉非尼,已在BRAF突变型黑色素瘤患者中显示出卓越疗效,但在BRAF突变型结直肠癌中的疗效有限。目前关于BRAF抑制剂在甲状腺癌中的情况知之甚少。对进展性、放射性碘难治性BRAF突变型甲状腺乳头状癌患者的初步报告显示,缓解率约为30%-40%。在本综述中,我们讨论了甲状腺癌背景下的BRAF抑制剂、与BRAF抑制剂相关的毒性以及针对这些毒性的建议处理方法。维莫非尼和达拉非尼毒性的处理适用于所有肿瘤类型,可作为其使用的实用指南。
