Abstract |
The 6-fold increase in the incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer over the past 30 years in industrialized countries can be mainly attributed to improved detection. At the same time, in addition to the excellent prognosis for low-risk cancers, improved survival in metastatic forms has been also reported, likely due to the progress made recently in the treatment of aggressive forms, for which there is now an extensive therapeutic arsenal. Today, clinical management of differentiated thyroid cancer represents a paradigm of precision oncology, with personalized, risk-adapted therapeutic strategies. This has led to therapeutic de-escalation in those forms with a good prognosis, while targeted treatments play an increasingly important role in the management of radioiodine-refractory or advanced cancers. While endocrinologists will not always have the opportunity to prescribe these treatments, they will be called on to support and monitor patients during treatment. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of treatment options for differentiated thyroid cancer in 2023.
