In patients with distant metastasis, treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) includes complete total thyroidectomy, followed by radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy for metastatic lesions. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment is the final treatment option for metastatic lesions, which is
BACKGROUND
Novel therapies are needed for the treatment of invasive thyroid cancers. Aberrant activation of tyrosine kinases plays an important role in thyroid oncogenesis. Because current targeted therapies are biased toward a small subset of tyrosine kinases, we conducted a study to reveal novel
Lenvatinib is a small oral molecule able to inhibit three of the extracellular and intracellular molecules involved in the modulation of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis: vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1-3, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1-4, and platelet-derived growth factor
To establish a molecular targeting therapy for anaplastic thyroid carcinomas, we studied the effect of the specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, STI571, on anaplastic thyroid cancer cell lines highly expressing c-ABL ARO (mutated p53) and FRO (undetectable p53). These lines showed marked inhibition of
OBJECTIVE
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a locally aggressive type of thyroid tumor with high rate of distant metastases. With conventional treatment, the median survival ranges from 4 to 12 months; therefore, new treatment options are needed. AZD2171 is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the
Aims: To assess the incidence and risk of arterial and venous thromboembolic events (ATEs and VTEs) associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in advanced thyroid cancer patients. Materials and Methods: We comprehensively searched EMBASE, Pubmed, and Cochrane Library for
Background Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is an important strategy in the treatment of thyroid cancer. However, anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), a rare malignancy, exhibits severe de-differentiation characteristics along with a lack of sodium iodide symporter (NIS) expression and function.
Radioactive-iodine (RAI) therapy is typically unprevailing as anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) management, owing to the decrease in the endogenous sodium iodide symporter (NIS) expression. Therefore, new strategies for NIS re-induction are required to improve the efficacy of RAI therapy in ATC. In
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) which target angiogenesis are promising treatments for patients with metastatic medullary and differentiated thyroid cancers. Sorafenib, sunitinib, and pazopanib are commercially available drugs which have been studied in these diseases. Vandetanib is the first drug
The ground-breaking discovery of genotype-phenotype relationships in hereditary medullary thyroid cancer has greatly facilitated early prophylactic thyroidectomy. Its timing depends not solely on a positive gene test but, more importantly, on the type of the REarranged during Transfection (RET)
Thyroid cancer represents a heterogenous disease whose incidence has increased in the last decades. Although three main different subtypes have been described, molecular characterization is progressively being included in the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm of these patients. In fact, thyroid
Since 2005, different types of multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors were used in clinical trials for the treatment of patients with advanced thyroid cancers. Experimental studies have demonstrated that tyrosine kinase inhibitors has both anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic properties in vitro
BACKGROUND
The increasing use of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy outside of the context of the clinical trial for treatment of advanced thyroid cancer has highlighted the need for a systematic approach to the clinical application of these agents in order to improve patient safety and monitoring
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a hyperplasia of thyroid C-cells, accounting for 5-10% of all thyroid cancers. MTCs may appear as sporadic or hereditary forms, and several molecules and signaling pathways have been found to function defectively in MTC cells. Tyrosine kinases are the most
Antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the mainstay of advanced thyroid cancer (TC) treatment. Concern is rising about TKI-related toxicity.
To determine the incidence and to investigate the risk factors of hemoptysis in TC patients during TKI treatment.
We analyzed consecutive TC
