ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Cancer immunotherapy encompasses a wide range of treatment modalities that harness the anti-tumor effects of the immune system and have revolutionized oncological treatment in recent years, with approval for its use in more and more cancers. However, it is not without side effects. Several neurological adverse events have been recognized associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, the two main classes of cancer immunotherapy. With the increase in the prevalence of oncological diseases and this type of therapy, it is improbable that neurologists, oncologists, hematologists, and other healthcare professionals who deal with cancer patients will not encounter this type of neurologic complication in their practice in the following years. This article aims to review the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of neurological complications associated with ICI and CAR T-cell therapy.
RESUMO
RESUMO A imunoterapia contra o câncer engloba uma gama de modalidades de tratamento que aumentam os efeitos antitumorais do próprio sistema imunológico do paciente e revolucionaram o tratamento oncológico nos últimos anos, com aprovação para seu uso em cada vez mais neoplasias. No entanto, não é sem efeitos colaterais. Vários eventos adversos neurológicos foram reconhecidos associados aos inibidores de checkpoint imunológico (ICI) e à terapia de células T com receptor de antígeno quimérico (CAR-T), as duas principais classes de imunoterapia contra o câncer. Com o aumento da prevalência de doenças oncológicas e desse tipo de terapia, é improvável que neurologistas, oncologistas, hematologistas e demais profissionais de saúde que lidam com pacientes com câncer não encontrem esse tipo de complicação neurológica em sua prática nos próximos anos. Este artigo tem como objetivo revisar a epidemiologia, as manifestações clínicas, o diagnóstico e o manejo das complicações neurológicas associadas à terapia com ICI e células CAR-T
