title: Redifferentiation therapy for thyroid cancer.
abstract: Thyroid tumorigenesis and carcinogenesis accompany progressive loss of thyroid-specific differentiated functions. Some thyroid cancers are or become dedifferentiated, and they become refractory to efficacy-proven conventional therapies such as radioiodine ablation therapy and thyrotropin (TSH)-suppressive therapy. Redifferentiation therapy by either redifferentiating agents or gene transfer of differentiation-related genes may retard tumor growth and make tumors respond to conventional therapies.
