Spanish consensus for the management of patients with anaplastic cell thyroid carcinoma

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is the most aggressive solid tumor and almost uniformly lethal in humans. The Boards of the Thyroid Cancer Group of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition and the Grupo Español de Enfermedades Huérfanas e Infrecuentes of the Spanish Society of Oncology requested that an independent task force draft a more comprehensive consensus statement regarding ATC. All relevant literature was reviewed, including serial PubMed searches together with additional articles. This is the first, comprehensive Spanish consensus statement for ATC and includes the characteristics, diagnosis, initial evaluation, treatment goals, recommendations and modalities for locoregional and advanced disease, palliative care options, surveillance, and long-term monitoring. Newer systemic therapies are being investigated, but more effective combinations are needed to improve patient outcomes. Though more aggressive radiotherapy has reduced locoregional recurrences, median overall survival has not improved in more than 50 years.

Sunitinib is an oral oxindol derivative and a potent inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor and platelet-derived growth factor receptor and a multitargeted tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, which has antitumor and antiangiogenic activity due to the selective inhibition that can stabilize progressive metastatic disease. The aim of this review is to expose whether the drug could be considered as a new promising therapy compared with other tyrosine-kinase inhibitors. Areas covered: In seven open-label studies carried out with sunitinb, the drug showed its anti-tumoral activity in advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma and in medullary thyroid carcinoma. The reported objectives in advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma, partial response ranges 13% to 55.5%, stable disease ranges 44.4% to 68%, progressive disease ranges 10% to 21% of patients, progression free survival ranges 3 to 13.3% months. In medullary thyroid carcinoma, PR ranges 0% to 55%, SD ranges 44.4% to 87.5%, PD ranges 7% to 18.8% and progression free survivalranges seven to 21 months. Expert opinion: Sunitinib has demonstrated a potent anti-tumoral activity in differentiated thyroid carcinoma and in medullary thyroid carcinoma, but the results of the open-label trials single arm are limited. Further investigations with this agent with randomized trials are warranted.
