Evaluation of patients with disseminated or locoregionally advanced thyroid cancer: a primer for medical oncologists.
Historically, patients with thyroid cancers are managed by endocrinologists, surgeons and radiation oncologists. Due to recent progress in this field with advances in treatment of thyroid cancer, medical oncologists are now commonly involved in care of patients with advanced thyroid cancers. In this manuscript, we describe general principles in management of patients with various types of thyroid cancers including differentiated, medullary and anaplastic thyroid cancers.
