摘要: Introduction: Although the prognosis for most differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) remains excellent, recurrence and insensitivity to radioactive iodine (RAI) lead therapeutic challenges poorer outcomes. In defining pathogenesis of DTC, multiple genetic alterations have been identified in key pathways focused around receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) MAPK cascade. Sorafenib was specifically developed target rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF) kinase pathway. It has shown, however, potent inhibition several RTKs, RAF V600E BRAF mutation, gaining FDA approval November 2013 advanced RAI-refractory DTC.Areas covered: The authors provide a review targeted discovery strategy as well preclinical clinical development sorafenib, leading DTC. also some insight into use sorafenib look at important considerations treatment.Expert opinion: Sorafeni...
