Efficient treatment of radio refractory thyroid cancer is still a major challenge. The recent identification of genetic and epigenetic alterations present in almost all differentiated tumors has revealed novel molecular targets, which can hopefully be exploited to create new treatments for these tumors. This review looks briefly at some of the innovative strategies currently being investigated for the treatment the radioiodine-resistant thyroid cancers.
