Review Description

Thyroid cancer is frequently associated with the oncogenic conversion of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) or their downstream signalling molecules. Hence, there is a strong biological rationale for assessing the efficacy of RTK blockade to treat patients who are resistant to or not candidates for treatment with radioactive iodine. The first results of clinical trials based on the use of RTK inhibitors in thyroid cancer patients have recently been published. Here we discuss targeting of specific RTKs as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of thyroid cancer.
