Papillary Thyroid Cancer Treatment Options
  • Pharmacologic medical therapies for papillary thyroid cancer include thyroid-suppression therapy, and/or targeted therapy.

Thyroid-suppression therapy

Targeted therapy

  • This type of treatment is done using:[2][3]
    • Sorafenib, an Sorafenib is an orally active, multityrosine kinase inhibitor.
    • Lenvatinib, an orally active, multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor.[4]
      • Adult
        • Preferred regimen: Lenvatinib 24 mg PO daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
        • Alternative regimen: Sorefenib 400 mg PO q12h until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
        • Alternative regimen: Larotrectinib 100 mg PO q12h until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
        • Alternative regimen: Entrectinib 600 mg PO daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
