Abstract:
Effects of antineoplastic agents on endocrine system are common, but it is difficult to identify since clinical complaints are subtle, and even more difficult to relate a particular chemotherapeutic regimen to the induced endocrine disturb. This review was organized according to the pattern of endocrine system diseases induced by antineoplastic agents, such as disorders of glucose metabolism, free water clearance, mineral metabolism, lipid metabolism and GH secretion and growth, metabolic bone diseases, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid disorders and reproductive dysfunction. Early detection and treatment of endocrine deficiency may have a significant impact on the quality and duration of life in a cancer survivor.
