First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study tested the drug sunitinib (Sutent) in 71 people with advanced thyroid cancer that had spread or couldn't be removed by surgery. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors when standard treatments like radioiodine no longer worked. Researchers measured how many patients had their tumors shrink and also monitored side effects.
