Although thyroid cancer represents less than 1% of malignant tumours, its increased incidence detected in recent years and the appearance and development of new drugs targeting specific molecular targets has attracted the attention of the doctors involved in this pathology, especially medical oncologists. For this reason it is important at this critical point, when treatment may be substantially changed, to establish and agree updated guidelines. These guidelines should incorporate the newly developed strategies that, although still preliminary in evidence level, will surely have an important role, especially in relapsed and refractory tumours, which are unsuitable for surgical or radio-iodine treatment. Particular histological and molecular features of these tumours must be taken into account in order to optimise therapeutic approaches.
