Surgical Management of Destructive Thyroiditis Triggered by Neoadjuvant Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy in Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report
This report highlights a case of preoperative destructive thyroiditis secondary to irAEs. In patients receiving preoperative ICIs therapy, routine blood tests, including thyroid function tests, are recommended as part of preoperative assessment. In this case, the patient underwent lobectomy safely following steroid administration. The optimal timing of surgery in patients with preoperative ICI-induced destructive thyroiditis requires further investigation.
