In this online, self-learning activity:
The incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has risen over the last decade, and there are over 43,000 new cases and 2,200 deaths each year. DTC accounts for 95% of all thyroid cancers and can be categorized as papillary or follicular cancer. Thyroid cancer diagnosed and treated at an early stage has a favorable prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of 99.9%. However, 5-year survival decreases to 53.3% for those patients with advanced or metastatic disease. Patients with disease that has progressed despite TSH-suppressive therapy or radioiodine may be considered for systemic therapy. Patients without a specific targetable marker may receive a multitargeted kinase inhibitor, while those with one may preferentially receive another agent such as a RET inhibitor, NTRK inhibitor, or BRAF inhibitor. DTC may present with actionable mutations, so patients with radioiodine-refractory (RAI-R) or metastatic disease should undergo genomic testing to assess mutation status, deficient mismatch repair (dMMR), microsatellite instability (MSI), and tumor mutational burden (TMB) to identify therapeutic targets.
HCPs including: Medical oncologists and endocrinologists; physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists who practice in oncology; and any other healthcare professionals with an interest in or who clinically encounter patients with RAI-R or metastatic DTC.
