Well differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) is referred to non-aggressive tumors with a relatively favorable course. However, in 10% of cases, distant metastases are recorded in this pathology, of them 5–15% of cases develop refractoriness to I131 therapy. Resistance to radioactive iodine therapy in patients with WDTC significantly worsens the overall and disease-free survival. In 2014, the targeted drug Sorafenib was registered in our country, as the first drug of choice for the treatment of

This drug is effective for the treatment of this cohort of patients and also helps to maintain a satisfactory quality of life. Therapy with a multikinase inhibitor statistically significantly increases the time to progression and the median time without progression. In this way, patients have been monitored for a process that would not have been possible to achieve without the use of a targeted drug with multikinase inhibition.
