PG - 1067264 LID - 10.3389/fonc.2023.1067264 [doi] LID - 1067264 AB - Cancer treatment-related adverse events (AEs) are sometimes associated with outcomes for cancer patients, especially with the newest therapies such as target therapy and immunotherapy. A few years ago, the first-line therapy for hormone-receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients has been deeply changed by the introduction of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors, and now, we are improving our knowledge about their AEs and significance in clinical practice. Here, we report our experience with two cases of vitiligo-like lesions that occur early during treatment with ribociclib. We tried to change the CDK4/6 inhibitor for one patient, but the skin reaction persisted. Both patients retained only the endocrine therapy alone and had an unexpected durable progression-free survival (PFS). Some data on skin toxicities, including vitiligo-like lesions by CDK4/6 inhibitors, have recently been reported in the literature, but for the first time, we highlight a possible correlation with improved survival outcomes of patients. Uncovering the etiology of this toxicity, verifying the involvement of the immune system, and demonstrating a possible positive impact in survival represent an intriguing research objective for the near future.
