• Using these imaging modalities detect 98% of neck recurrences; 100%
of mediastinal lymph nodes, lungs, and liver metastases; and 94% of
bone metastases.

Small volume & asymptomatic
• Small-volume residual outside of cervical lymph nodes (thyroid bed or
soft tissue metastases)
gross extra thyroidal extension into major structures in the neck: EBRT as
adjuvant therapy
early soft tissue recurrence of MTC: surgical resection, usually followed by
EBRT
• Small-volume lymph node OR distant metastases: usually followed with
observation (imaging at 6_12 month interval)

• EBRT for very select patients with extensive preoperative gross extrathyroidal
extension or large-volume, multicompartment macroscopic lymph node
involvement
• In high risk patients (residual disease, extrathyroidal extension, or nodal
involvement), locoregional recurrence free rate was 86% at 10 years with
postoperative external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) as compared to 52% in
those without adjuvant EBRT ,However, radiation may not confer survival

Rationale for Targeted Therapy in MTC: When
• Clinical Indications
Targeted therapy should be considered where local treatments have been
exhausted
impending compression of specific sites such as the central nervous system or the
airway, where a smaller disease volume may be critical, considered sooner
TKIs also help in palliation of distressing secretory symptoms such as diarrhea and
Cushing’s syndrome

Targeted Radionuclide Therapy or Peptide Receptor
Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT)
• over expression of somatostatin type 2 receptors (SSTR)
• PRRT with 90Y or 177Lu-DOTATATE (DOTA-Tyr-octreotate)
• Salavati et al. treated over a period of 8 years, a cohort of 28 patients with recurrent and metastatic MTC.
• All patients previous surgery, radiotherapy, conventional chemotherapy, and local palliative measures
17 patients (60.7%) SD, 5 of 28 (17.7%) PR and 6 (21.4%) disease progression.
The median survival of patients with SD: 36 months, that of patients with PR : 72 months, and the median survival for patients with PD : 24 months

Disease Outcome • tumors confined to the gland, the 10-year survival rate was 95.6%
• regional stage disease had an overall survival (OS) rate of 75.5% (4).
• presenting with DM at diagnosis had a 10-year survival of approximately 20%
• calcitonin levels of over 150 pg/ml were associated with DM and extrathyroidal extension
• Preoperative calcitonin levels of 500 pg/ml, nodal metastasis, and preoperative status best predicted failure
to achieve biochemical cure
• In high risk patients (residual disease, extrathyroidal extension, or nodal involvement), locoregional
recurrence free rate was 86% at 10 years with postoperative external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) as

PROGNOSIS
• age, vascular invasion, and TNM (tumor, node, metastasis)
• Calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) doubling times sensitive markers
for progression and aggressiveness of metastatic MTC
Calcitonin doubling times less than 6 to 12 months with poor survival while
doubling times >24 months with a very favorable prognosis
• Specific germline mutations in RET predict the aggressiveness of the tumor

poorly differentiated and ATC, although there is no evidence that
EGFR is a primary driver of these tumors.

after total thyroidectomy and at least 3 months (3–11 months; median 6 months) after adjuvant

• This is most likely due to tumor heterogeneity and the presence of a less differentiated tumor
component.
