Overview
Pharmacologic medical therapies for follicular thyroid cancer include radioactive iodine therapy and targeted medical therapy.
Medical Therapy
Thyroid Hormone Replacement
- Thyroxine is recommended as a replacement therapy for all patients with follicular thyroid cancer especially for micronodular pulmonary metastases.[1]
Radioactive Iodine Therapy
- Radio active iodine ablation therapy may be used to prevent the recurrence of cancer.
- High doses of radioiodine is also used to treat microscopic bone metastasis
Targeted Therapy
Kinase Inhibitors
- Sorafenib
- Lenvatinib
Radiation Therapy
- External radiation therapy is used for bone pain in bone metastasis.
Other Treatment Options
- Intravenous infusions of bisphosphonate is also used to reduce pain in bone metastasis.
- Corticosteroid therapy is recommended for cerebral edema secondary to brain metastasis.
