The ESMO 2022 Clinical Practice Guidelines for use of systemic therapy in advanced thyroid care

Oncology Knowledge into Practice Podcast

Developments in precision medicine have led to a paradigm shift in the management of advanced thyroid cancer. The ESMO Guidelines Committee recently developed a new clinical practice guideline on the use of systemic therapy in this setting.

This episode offers guideline insights into the applications recently approved therapies that have been approved by the FDA and/or the EMA, including cabozantinib, selpercatinib, pralsetinib, and entrectinib. It also provides data updates of previously approved therapies and how guidelines have been adapted accordingly. To answer questions on the 2022 ESMO Clinical Practice Guideline update, we have invited Dr. Ahmad Awada to join us. He is Head of the Oncology Medicine Department at Jules Bordet Cancer Institute Brussels, Belgium.

• Recall thyroid RET and TRK fusion-positive cancer diagnosis and relevant genomic testing guidelines, and identify ways to adapt the guidelines to local settings
• Discuss precision medicine and new technologies, including liquid biopsy
• Review the organization of care and strategies for more efficient care delivery
