Use of multikinase inhibitors/lenvatinib in singular thyroid cancer scenarios

Thyroid cancer is the most frequent endocrine tumor. In locally advanced or metastatic disease there are only two types of treatment available: radioactive iodine (RAI) while the disease is RAI‐sensitive and multikinase inhibitors, lenvatinib and sorafenib, when the disease becomes RAI‐refractory. The objective of this publication is to review the current knowledge on the use of targeted therapy and the specific practical considerations concerning lenvatinib in the treatment of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer under special circumstances.[Image: see text]
