Thyroid Cancer: Understanding

Thyroid Cancer: Overview

Thyroid cancer is a malignant condition that primarily arises from the follicular cells of the thyroid gland, which are responsible for producing thyroid hormones. The symptoms of thyroid cancer include a neck lump, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, and swollen lymph nodes, though many early cases are asymptomatic.  Thyroid cancer risk is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The most well-established cause is exposure to ionizing radiation, particularly during childhood, which significantly raises the likelihood of developing thyroid malignancies. Inherited genetic syndromes such as MEN2, Cowden syndrome, and familial medullary thyroid cancer also contribute to increased risk. Women are more commonly affected, possibly due to hormonal influences like estrogen. Lifestyle and environmental factors, including obesity, low iodine intake, and exposure to pollutants, may also play a key role.

 

Thyroid cancer is classified into four main types, namely papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic thyroid cancers, with papillary being the most common and least aggressive. Follicular cancer is slightly more aggressive and tends to spread to distant organs like the lungs and bones. Medullary thyroid cancer originates from C cells, is less common, and is often linked to inherited syndromes such as MEN2. Anaplastic thyroid cancer is the rarest and most aggressive form, typically affecting older individuals and associated with a poor prognosis.

 

Diagnosis of Thyroid cancer has significantly advanced through innovations in imaging, cytology, molecular testing, and artificial intelligence. Ultrasound remains the first-line tool, especially when guided by TI-RADS, while CT and PET/CT help assess lymph node involvement and distant spread. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), often combined with thyroglobulin washout (FNA-Tg), enhances diagnostic sensitivity, particularly for lymph node metastases. Molecular diagnostics, including tests for BRAF, RET, and RAS mutations, are crucial when cytology is inconclusive and help guide personalized treatment. Emerging technologies like Raman spectroscopy and machine learning offer high diagnostic accuracy and the potential to detect malignancy earlier and more precisely. The integration of imaging and genetic data through radiogenomics further refines risk assessment and supports precision oncology approaches.

 

Thyroid cancer treatment involves a personalized, multidisciplinary approach tailored to cancer type, stage, and molecular profile. Surgery remains the primary treatment, with total thyroidectomy commonly performed. Radioactive iodine therapy is used post-surgery for differentiated cancers but is ineffective in medullary and anaplastic types. Thyroid hormone suppression therapy helps prevent recurrence by lowering TSH levels. For advanced or iodine-resistant cancers, targeted therapies such as TKIs and mutation-specific inhibitors like selpercatinib offer promising outcomes. The emerging strategies include radiofrequency ablation and precision monitoring based on molecular testing to guide ongoing care and improve quality of life.

Thyroid Cancer Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Thyroid Cancer report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including Phase III, II, I, Preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

 

Thyroid Cancer Emerging Drugs

AL2846: Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd.

AL-2846 is an investigational small-molecule kinase inhibitor developed by Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. It targets receptor protein-tyrosine kinases, aiming to block cancer cell growth. The current trials are focused on its use in iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (both alone and in combination with other therapies), neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and pancreatic cancer. The drug is being evaluated under Phase III stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Thyroid Cancer.

 

Vemurafenib: Genentech

Vemurafenib (Zelboraf) is an oral, small molecule, BRAF kinase inhibitor. The BRAF protein is a key component of the RAS-RAF pathway involved in normal cell growth and survival. Mutations that keep the BRAF protein in an active state may cause excessive pathway signalling, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and survival. Vemurafenib is designed to block the BRAF gene mutation. By blocking this mutation, the drug may kill the cancer cells with the mutation and/or stop the tumor from growing. The drug is currently in Phase II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Thyroid Cancer.

 

A400: Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical

A400/EP0031 (KL590586 Capsules) is a new generation of selective RET small molecule kinase inhibitor (SRI) with extensive activity against RET gene fusion and mutations, and has the potential to overcome first-generation SRI resistance. In preclinical studies, A400/EP0031 showed good inhibitory activity against RET kinase in vitro and in vivo, and also demonstrated good blood-brain barrier penetration in animal models. Ellipses, a UK based international drug development company, was granted an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize A400 outside Greater China and certain Asian countries. The drug is currently being evaluated under Phase I/II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Thyroid Cancer.

 

AIC100: AffyImmune Therapeutics

AIC100 is an affinity‑tuned, third‑generation CAR‑T cell therapy engineered to target ICAM‑1 on advanced thyroid cancers, including anaplastic (ATC) and poorly differentiated (PDTC) types. ICAM-1, found on the surface of cancer cells, acts as a binding site for LFA-1 on AIC100 CAR T cells, facilitating their recognition and destruction of malignant cells. AffyImmune has chosen anaplastic and advanced differentiated thyroid cancers as the initial indication for AIC100 and has received Orphan Drug, Fast Track, and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy Designations from the FDA. The drug is currently in Phase I stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Thyroid Cancer.
