Resistance to RET - Targeted Therapy in Thyroid Cancer


Listen Later

Developments in RET-targeted therapies have led to a paradigm shift in the management of advanced thyroid cancer. However, resistance to these drugs has been observed to develop through a variety of mechanisms, so precise monitoring is required to detect and react to disease development.

This episode offers insight into relevant mechanisms of resistance to RET inhibitors in thyroid cancer. It also considers how strategies such as combinations of targeted therapies and liquid biopsy could potentially help tackle the development of resistance. To answer questions on this topic, we have invited Professor Bruce Robinson to join us. He is a Professor of Medicine and Endocrinologist at the University of Sydney, Australia.
