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) [
2‐
5]. …
