Abstract:
The emergence of the new targeted therapies has revolutionized the management of several cancers. We take a special interest in the standard management of all thyroid cancer, except the anaplasic variant. Based on two clinical cases, we examine the place of tyrosin kinase inhibitors in unusual, refractory, situations, i.e. iodine-refractory or metastatic cancer. The ideal medical approach implies a multidisciplinary teamwork.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy.
