Based on our experience in treating one patients with non-small cell lung cancer complicated with hyperthyroidism,the following considerations in immunotherapy and pharmaceutical care are proposed:role of iodine contrast and contrast agent selection in patients with hyperthyroidism;selection of hemostatic agents and assessment of thrombosis risk in patients with hemoptysis caused by tumor invasion of bronchus;influence of glucocorticoid use on the treatment with programmed cell death-1(PD-1)inhibitor and the role of PD-1 inhibitors in patients with a history of hyperthyroidism;education methods for patients refuse to receive opioids.The participation of clinical pharmacists in the Multiple Disciplinary Team and the multi-dimensional pharmaceutical monitoring for patients can improve the safety and rationality of medications.

Keywords: hyperthyroidism; immunotherapy; non-small cell lung cancer; pharmaceutical monitoring.
