Efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in an elderly patient with metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma and cardiological comorbidity: a case report.
    Future oncology (London, England), 2019, Volume: 15, Issue:24s

    Lenvatinib significantly prolonged progression-free survival versus placebo in patients with radio-iodine refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma. However, the primary adverse effects of any grade that occurred in >40% of patients in the lenvatinib group of the Phase III SELECT trial was hypertension (67.8%). Therefore, this drug should be used with caution in patients with cardiological morbidity. Here, we describe the case of a 73-year-old man with hypertension, obesity and chronic atrial fibrillation, who received lenvatinib for 6 months in the absence of cardiological symptoms.
