Abstract

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy, the treatment is multidisciplinary and multimodal. Thyroid tumors are heterogeneous in origin, morphology, biological behavior and therapeutic options. Substantial advances in diagnostic methods for thyroid cancer have led to detection of earlier stages of the disease that have the possibility of targeted therapeutic treatment and improved patient prognosis. In addition to surgical treatment, hormonal suppression and radioiodine therapy, targeted molecular therapy, which requires genetic testing, has come to the fore in recent decades. In the summary, we present an overview of current knowledge on the genetic background of individual types of thyroid carcinomas and the possibilities of therapeuticintervention.
