Thyroid Carcinoma Treatment Regimens
Find information about available non-chemotherapy treatments for thyroid carcinoma, including total thyroidectomy, radiodine treatment, and ablation.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Proton FLASH Radiotherapy Deemed Feasible, Comparable to Conventional Dose Rate Radiotherapy
Proton FLASH radiotherapy is feasible, safe, and provides pain relief for cancer patients with bone metastases, according to a first-in-human trial.
Active Surveillance Feasible for Low-Risk Thyroid Cancer
Patients undergoing immediate surgery experience greater anxiety than patients in active surveillance.
Thyroid Cancer Often Detected in Asymptomatic Patients
Many thyroid cancers are discovered in patients who undergo surgery without thyroid-referable symptoms, an international study suggests.
More Thyroid Cancers ID’d in Patients With No Symptoms
Forty-six percent of patients who underwent thyroid-directed surgery had cancer; of these, 51 percent were asymptomatic.
Significant Financial Burden Associated With Thyroid Cancer Treatment, Survivorship
An analysis of studies in the literature sought to determine the financial burden patients with thyroid cancer incur from diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance.
Risk of Cancer-Specific Death May Remain Elevated for 30 Years
Patients with certain cancers have an increased risk of cancer-specific mortality that persists for 30 to 35 years after diagnosis.
Multifocality Appears to Increase Risk of Recurrence in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
The risk of recurrence varied by patient age, tumor size, and number of foci.
Vandetanib and Cabozantinib Deemed Effective in Real-World Study of Medullary Thyroid Cancer
The overall survival rate at 1 year was 86% with vandetanib and 70% with cabozantinib.
Local Resection Is ‘Sufficient’ for Parathyroid Carcinoma
Patients with parathyroid carcinoma after localized resection for a presumed benign indication should undergo close monitoring for recurrence rather than radical surgery.
