NTRK- and RET-fusion-directed therapy in pediatric thyroid cancer yields a tumor response and radioiodine uptake

NTRK- and RET-fusion-directed therapy in pediatric thyroid cancer yields a tumor response and radioiodine uptake

Prof. Jong-Il Kim

At the time of diagnosis, pediatric thyroid cancer(PTC) is more associated with lymph node and lung metastasis compared to adult thyroid cancer. As for the response to the radioiodine treatment after the surgery, however, PTC shows fairly satisfactory results.
