Notfälle in der Medikamentösen Tumortherapie

Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund Immunmodulatorische Therapien gewinnen immer größere Bedeutung in der Uro-Onkologie. Aus diesem Grund werden wir vermutlich immer häufiger mit Nebenwirkungen konfrontiert werden. Hinzu kommt eine immer größere Zahl an Kombinationen mit anderen Wirkmechanismen. Als Folge dieser Therapie können immun-vermittelte Nebenwirkungen auftreten. Diese unterscheiden sich von den Nebenwirkungen einer Chemotherapie und anderen zielgerichteten Therapien und erfordern daher andere Behandlungsstrategien.

Ziel der Arbeit Anhand der aktuellen Literatur werden die Daten zur Graduierung und stadienabhängigen Management dargelegt sowie mit Beispielen aus der Praxis anschaulich dargestellt.

Material und Methoden Literaturrecherche zur Detektion und Therapiemanagement von im Rahmen der immunonkologischen Therapie vermittelten Nebenwirkungen.

Ergebnisse Die behandlungsbezogenen Ereignisse können prinzipiell alle Organsystem betreffen, häufig sehen finden sich Toxizitäten im Bereich der Haut, wie Ausschlag oder Pruritus, Hypo- oder Hyperthyreosen, Arthritiden, Muskelschmerzen und gastrointestinale Symptome. In der Häufigkeit sind die meisten Nebenwirkungen Grad 1 bis 2 zuzuordnen, jedoch auch Grad 3 bis 4 Toxizitäten sind grundsätzlich gut zu therapieren, sofern sie frühzeitig erkannt werden. Seltene Komplikationen wie neurologische Toxizitäten, Pneumonitis oder auch Karditis können bei zu später Diagnose einen fulminanten Verlauf entwickeln.

Diskussion Selbst Notfälle sind gut zu managen, wenn wir die wichtigsten Nebenwirkungen und therapeutischen Optionen kennen. Dabei kommt den immunvermittelten Nebenwirkungen ein besonderer Stellenwert zu, weil sie grundsätzlich jedes Organsystem betreffen können. So lange wir jedoch bei Patienten, die Symptome zeigen, an die Möglichkeit einer Toxizität durch Checkpointinhibitoren denken, sind die meisten Nebenwirkungen gut zu therapieren und daher kontrollierbar.

Abstract

Background Immunomodulatory therapies are becoming increasingly important in uro-oncology. For this reason, we will probably be increasingly confronted with side effects. In addition, there is an increasing number of combinations with other mechanisms of action. Immune-mediated side effects may occur as a consequence of this therapy. These are different from the side effects of chemotherapy and other targeted therapies and therefore require different treatment strategies.

Aim Based on the current literature, the data on graduation and stage-dependent management will be presented as well as illustrated with examples from practice.

Materials and methods Literature review on the detection and therapeutic management of adverse events mediated in the setting of immuno-oncologic therapy.

Results Treatment-related events can in principle affect all organ systems. Toxicities in the area of the skin, such as rash or pruritus, hypo- or hyperthyreosis, arthritis, muscle pain and gastrointestinal symptoms are frequently seen. In terms of frequency, most side effects are grade 1 to 2, but grade 3 to 4 toxicities are also generally well treatable if detected early. Rare complications such as neurological toxicities, pneumonitis or carditis can develop a fulminant course if diagnosed too late.

Conclusions Even emergencies are manageable if we know the most important side effects and the therapeutic options. Immune-mediated side effects are of particular importance because they can affect any organ system. However, as long as we consider the possibility of toxicity from checkpoint inhibitors when the patient presents with symptoms, most side effects are easy to treat and therefore manageable.
