摘要

Patients with advanced thyroid cancer may benefit from L-thyroxine treatment at doses that suppress serum TSH level, local treatment interventions, and radioiodine therapy. In those patients who are refractory to radioiodine therapy and in whom progressive disease has been documented, the efficacy of cytotoxic chemotherapy is poor. Encouraging results have been obtained with the use of kinase inhibitors that should be offered as first-line treatment, preferably in the context of a prospective trial.
