Interstitial lung disease in targeted therapies: A Society of Gynecologic Oncology clinical practice statement.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a potentially serious and sometimes fatal complication of targeted therapies, including antibody-drug conjugates and immunotherapies, in gynecologic oncology. Risk factors include pre-existing lung disease, advanced age and prior thoracic radiation. Early detection, patient and clinician education, and prompt multidisciplinary collaboration are critical to mitigate ILD morbidity and mortality. This Society of Gynecologic Oncology clinical practice statement provides evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis, grading and management of ILD associated with gynecologic cancer therapies, emphasizing the importance of baseline risk assessment, ongoing monitoring and standardized intervention protocols to optimize patient outcomes.
