Excerpt

Radioiodine- refractory thyroid cancer patients have a worse prognosis. If specific driver mutations like BRAF, RET, NTRK are identified, mutation specific kinase inhibitors should be preferred over multikinase inhibitors [1]. In selected cases, specific kinase inhibitors restore radioiodine sensitivity enabling further radioiodine treatment (RIT) [25]. …
