Hematologic toxicities associated with mTOR inhibitors temsirolimus and everolimus in cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, temsirolimus and everolimus, are currently approved for the treatment of several malignancies. Hematological toxicities have been reported with these drugs, but overall incidence and relative risk remains undefined. We perform an up-to-date meta-analysis to determine the incidence and risk of hematologic toxicities associated with mTOR inhibitors.
