  • Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine cancer and generally has a good outlook, but some cases, particularly follicular-origin cancers, can become aggressive and resistant to treatment.
  • A significant number of these cancers show hyper-activation of the MAPK signaling pathway due to specific mutations, which has led to the testing of targeted therapies, such as BRAF and MEK inhibitors.
