    Abstract

    The recent availability of molecular targeted therapies leads to reconsideration of the treatment strategy in patients with distant metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinoma who are resistant to radioiodine therapy, and in patients with metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma. In patients with progressive disease, treatment with kinase inhibitors should be offered, preferably in the context of a prospective trial.
