New Agent May Offer Hope in Treating Thyroid Cancer
The first-in-class compound CUDC-907, which is being tested for multiple myeloma and refractory lymphoma, may be promising for anaplastic thyroid cancer and poorly differentiated thyroid cancer.
Recurrence Rates Low After rhTSH for Postoperative Ablation in Low-Risk Thyroid Cancer
Long-term recurrence rates appear to be low following the use of recombinant human thyrotropin for postoperative ablation in low-risk thyroid cancer.
Sequential Combination Strategy May Be Optimal in Advanced Thyroid Cancer
Initiating treatment with the mTor inhibitor everolimus followed by the somatostatin analogue pasireotide may be beneficial in advanced thyroid cancer.
Prospective Study Confirms ATA Sonographic Pattern Risk Assessment Guidelines
A new study has validated the American Thyroid Association sonographic pattern for selection of thyroid nodules undergoing ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration.
Active Surveillance May Be Appropriate in Select Thyroid Cancer Patients
Active surveillance in low-risk thyroid cancer may be better than immediate surgery in some patients.
Close Monitoring May Improve Outcomes With Lenvatinib in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Despite side effects, patients with differentiated thyroid cancer taking lenvatinib may experience better outcomes with close monitoring.
New Studies Needed for Pregnancy-Specific Cut-off Values for TPOAb Positivity
Current cut-offs for pregnancy-specific thyroid autoantibody positivity vary from by assay.
Liquid Biopsy May Help Predict Survival in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma
Liquid biopsy may prevent the need for unnecessary biopsies in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma.
