摘要
Background: Thyroid cancer is a heterogeneous disease that is classified into differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), undifferentiated/anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) and medullary thyroid carcinoma. Results of conventional treatment modalities in advanced thyroid cancer have been disappointing and therefore, new therapies are needed. Methods: We searched PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Medline and EMBASE databases and abstracts published in annual proceedings for new treatment modalities in advanced thyroid cancer. We also searched for ongoing trials in www.clinicaltrials.gov Results: Six phase I, 17 phase II and 1 phase III trials with tyrosine kinase inhibitors were carried out. We found 2 pilot studies and 11 phase II trials with redifferentiation therapies, mainly in DTC. For antiproliferative approaches, three phase I and four phase II trials were found. Immunomodulatory gene therapy was tested in a pilot study in ATC patients. Two phase II trials were carried out with immunotherapy. One phase I and nine phase II trials were found with radionucleotide therapy in patients with DTC. Conclusion: The developments in the treatment of advanced thyroid cancer are intriguing. Future trials should aim at combinations of targeted agents with or without other treatment modalities, and will hopefully contribute to further improvement of outcomes.
