Abstract

The majority of patients with thyroid cancer have a remarkably good chance of cure in the context of surgical treatment, due to their mostly local tumor spread. However, a small proportion of patients with advanced and metastatic thyroid tumors usually require multimodality treatment. Abstracts from the 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting are summarized in this review, to provide insights into current aspects of thyroid carcinoma treatment. In addition to innovations in the treatment of radioiodine-refractory differentiated and medullary thyroid carcinoma, current approaches to anaplastic thyroid carcinoma are presented and critically interpreted.
