摘要
Historically, systemic therapies for advanced, metastatic thyroid carcinomas have been poorly effective. However, as a result of a confluence of increasing knowledge of the biologic basis for thyroid cancer development and progression, identification of therapeutic agents that could target these biologic abnormalities, and enthusiasm for research by both funding agencies as well as patients, multiple clinical trials have been initiated and successfully completed during the past several years. This article focuses on findings from key studies that reflect the new paradigms for treatment.
