Our study highlights the importance of considering endocrine disorders in advanced metastatic cancer patients undergoing therapy. The prevalence of diabetes and thyroid dysfunction increased during cancer-directed therapy, particularly in females. Careful monitoring and timely intervention are essential to improve the quality of life for these patients. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects of cancer-directed therapy on endocrine health and develop tailored management strategies for this vulnerable population.
