Our understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has developed considerably over the last 10 years. Aberrant signaling through B-Raf and Akt has been implicated in the tumorigenesis of DTC. Moreover, these highly vascular tumors have proven to be sensitive to the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR-2). It is likely that the multikinase inhibitors, sorafenib, sunitinib, axitinib, and motesanib, whose targets include VEGFR-2, exert their effects primarily through inhibition of endothelial cells. However, as VEGFR-2 is expressed on DTC cells, these compounds may have direct antitumor action. This review will discuss the key signaling pathways involved in thyroid cancer and their implications for targeted therapy. Clin Cancer Res; 16(3); 778-83. (C) 2010 AACR.
