Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, our understanding of thyroid cancer—including the differentiated, anaplastic, and medullary subtypes—has significantly advanced, largely due to discoveries regarding the molecular mechanisms driving tumor development, proliferation, and survival. Simultaneously, thyroid cancer incidence has risen, prompting a shift toward personalized treatment approaches rather than a standardized strategy.
Active surveillance is increasingly being recognized as a viable option for managing low-risk differentiated thyroid cancers, alongside less invasive surgical techniques and selective radioiodine use. Meanwhile, new and highly selective targeted therapies are offering new hope for patients with aggressive thyroid cancers, including metastatic and anaplastic cases.
This Special Issue will explore the evolving treatment landscape, highlighting innovative therapeutic strategies that are shaping current clinical practices, as well as future treatment paradigms.
Dr. Antonio M. Matrone
