Newdrugs make little steps on a long journey

Hats off to those investigators that continue to try to improve treatment of those people with thyroid cancer that is no longer responding to standard treatment or surgery and radioiodine.

Recent reports of trials of Pazopanib and Lenvatinib clearly show that the search for effective new treatments for progressive thyroid cancer is continuing at pace, but the results remain a fair bit short of what we are all hoping for. That said, progress in the cancer world is often made in little steps, and as long as you don't stop, even someone taking little steps will eventually reach their destination.
