G. Costante Differentiated Thyroid Cancer EligibleAmerican ThyroidPatients Association for guidelines New , DrugsThyroid 2015 Recommendation 96
Kinase inhibitor therapy should be considered in RAI-refractory DTC patients with metastatic, rapidly progressive, symptomatic and/or imminently threatening disease not otherwise amenable to local control using other approaches………….the impact of these agents on overall survival and quality of life remains to be defined.

When to withdraw ?
• At structural progression after the nadir (RECIST +20%) ?
• More pronounced progression ?
