Abstract

Oncotherapeutic agents can cause a wide range of liver injuries from elevated liver functions tests to fulminant liver failure. In this review, we emphasize a newer generation of drugs including immune checkpoint inhibitors, protein kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and hormonal therapy. A few conventional chemotherapy agents are also discussed.

Keywords: Antibody–drug conjugate; Checkpoint inhibitor; Hepatotoxicity; Hormonal therapy; Liver; Monoclonal antibody; Protein kinase inhibitor; Tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
