The FDA has approved cabozantinib for the treatment of patients 12 years of age and older with locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer that has progressed following prior vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-targeted therapy and who are radioactive iodine-refractory or ineligible.

Can ALK inhibitors have the same impact on other malignancies that harbor ALK rearrangements as is has on non–small cell lung cancer?

Eric Nadler, MD, MPP, led a Case-Based Roundtable discussion on treating a 58-year-old man with thyroid cancer.

Lori Wirth, MD, discusses the future of selpercatinib in RET-altered thyroid cancers. 

In medullary thyroid cancer, older patients are more likely to have more aggressive disease and disease specific mortality.

Twelve months after a male patient with RET-mutant thyroid cancer was no longer asymptomatic, the patient developed symptoms that led the treating physician to discover metastatic disease.

Progression-free survival was significantly prolonged with cabozantinib as treatment of patients with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer in the phase 3 COSMIC-311 clinical trial, showing potential as a new treatment option and leading to the filing of a application for FDA approval.
