Closing the Knowledge Gap: RAI-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer. Of those patients diagnosed with DTC, approximately 5 to 15% may be RAI-Refractory. There is currently no consensus that defines RAI-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) or offers clinical scenarios that are an absolute indicator of the condition. To address this topic, this program consists of short educational videos on Differentiated thyroid cancer and the treatment of RAI-Refractory patients. Dr. Stan VanUum and Dr. Dean Ruether will discuss common issues healthcare professionals, including endocrinologists and oncologists, may have concerning the challenges of identifying and treating RAIR-DTC patients.
