Vandetanib for the treatment of thyroid cancer: an update.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare endocrine malignancy accounting for a significant percentage of thyroid cancer-related fatal events. Traditional treatment modalities used in the other types of thyroid carcinomas have been proved largely ineffective in advanced MTC. Better understanding of the molecular pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of MTC has led to the development of new drugs, which are implicated in the disruption of these molecular cascades. AREAS COVERED:This review provides the latest information regarding vandetanib , a new tyrosine kinase inhibitor mainly in the treatment of MTC. A collection of available data was conducted using the PubMed database as well as the ClinicalTrials.gov website, searching for vandetanib and thyroid cancer. EXPERT OPINION:Vandetanib targets multiple cell-signaling pathways involved in the molecular pathogenesis of thyroid cancer, namely vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, epidermal growth factor receptor and rearranged during transfection receptor. It is an effective approach in treating advanced MTC. However, treatment toxicity issues, as well as individual patient parameters, including disease burden and progression, should be taken into consideration before initiating vandetanib treatment.
