Abstract EN
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine tumor.
Thyroidectomy, radioactive iodine, and TSH suppression represent the standard treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer.
Since chemotherapy has been shown to be unsuccessful in case of advanced thyroid carcinomas, the research for new therapies is fundamental.
In this paper, we reviewed the recent literature reports (pubmed, medline, EMBASE database, and abstracts published in meeting proceedings) on new treatments in advanced nonmedullary and medullary thyroid carcinomas.
Studies of many tyrosine kinase inhibitors as well as antiangiogenic inhibitors suggest that patients with thyroid cancer could have an advantage with new target therapy.
We summarized both the results obtained and the toxic effects associated with these treatments reported in clinical trials.
Reported data in this paper are encouraging, but further trials are necessary to obtain a more effective result in thyroid carcinoma treatment.
