Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have emerged as significant targets for novel cancer therapies For patients with differentiated or medullary carcinomas unresponsive to conventional treatments, multiple novel therapies primarily targeting angiogenesis have entered clinical trials Partial response rates up to 30% have been reported in single-agent studies, but prolonged disease stabilisation is more commonly seen The most Successful agents target the vascular endothelial growth factor receptors Sorafenib and sunitinib have had promising preliminary results reported and are being used selectively for patients who do not qualify for clinical trials Treatment for patients with metastatic or advanced thyroid carcinoma now emphasises clinical trial opportunities for novel agents with considerable promise. Adverse effects oil thyroid function and thyroid hormone metabolism have also been seen with several TKIs, necessitating prospective thyroid function testing for all patients Starting therapy (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
