Melanoma: Melanoma has been associated with thyroid metastases, and autopsy studies report an incidence of up to 39% [377]. Shimaoka et al., analyzed 2050 consecutive autopsy reports between 1955 and 1960. Sixteen (39%) of 41 patients who died of malig­nant melanoma had metastatic deposits in the thyroid gland [414]. It is possible that as ther­apy has improved for this disease, rates may currently be lower.
Additional case reports: These include pan­creatic malignancies, and sarcomas [379, 406,
412, 415, 416]. The majority of these patients
presented with multiple metastases against a background of aggressive disease and as such was considered inappropriate for thyroid surgery.
The third factor that alters prognosis is the “disease-free interval.” The best outcomes have been reported in patients with indolent tumors who present with long disease-free intervals [417].
Additional factors affecting outcomes are “co­morbidities” and “management” in terms of the ability to perform a complete surgical resection and the effectiveness of adjuvant therapy for the tumor type.
13.11 Metastatic Lesions
fromtheThyroid
13.11.1 Overview
Sometimes, thyroid cancer is very large and starts growing into structures in the neck, such as the trachea, esophagus, blood vessels, mus­cles, or nerves. This is considered “locally advanced” thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer may metastasize to LNs, lungs, bone, and occasion­ally brain. Fortunately, metastases will often take up iodine at rst. Therefore, RAI may still be a useful treatment for patients with metasta­ses. It is particularly useful for small lung metastases that may not be visible by CT scan but are seen on a RAI scan. Metastatic thyroid cancer, that is large enough and visible on US or CT scan, should be surgically removed. This is a
common treatment for LN metastases in the neck. However, for tumors that either lose the ability to take up RAI or are not surgically resectable, new clinical trials are currently enrolling patients that have metastases (deter­mined by high Tg levels).
13.11.2 Treatment Strategy ofMetastatic Thyroid Cancer
Metastases may be discovered at the time of ini­tial disease staging or during follow-up. If metas­tases are found following initial therapy, some patients may subsequently experience a reduc­tion in tumor burden with additional treatments that may offer a survival or palliative benet [418422]. The preferred hierarchy of treatment for metastatic disease is surgical excision of loco­regional disease in potentially curable patients,
131
I therapy for RAI-responsive disease, EBRT, or other directed treatment modalities such as ther­mal ablation, TSH-suppressive thyroid hormone therapy for patients with stable or slowly pro­gressive asymptomatic disease, and systemic therapy with kinase inhibitors, especially for patients with signicantly progressive macro­scopic refractory disease.
Localized treatments with thermal (radiofre­quency or cryo-) ablation [423], ethanol ablation [424], or chemo-embolization [425] may be ben­ecial in patients with a single or a few metasta­ses and in those with metastases at high risk of local complications; the treatments should be performed in such patients before the initiation of any systemic treatment. These modalities may control treated metastases, avoid local complica­tions, and delay initiation of systemic treatment. Additionally, surgical therapy in selected incur­able patients is important to prevent complica­tions in targeted areas, such as the CNS and central neck compartment. Conversely, conserva­tive intervention with TSH-suppressive thyroid hormone therapy may be appropriate for selected patients with stable asymptomatic local meta­static disease and most patients with stable asymptomatic non-CNS distant metastatic disease.

13.11.3 Oncological Principles ofTreatment ofDistant Metastatic Disease
The overall approach to treatment of distant met­astatic thyroid cancer is based upon the following observations and oncological principles:
– Morbidity and mortality are increased in
patients with distant metastases, but individual prognosis depends upon factors including his­tology of the primary tumor, distribution and number of sites of metastasis (e.g., brain, bone, lung), tumor burden, age at diagnosis of metas­tases, and 18 FDG and RAI avidity [426431].
– Improved survival is associated with responsive-
ness to directed therapy (surgery, EBRT, thermal ablation, etc) and/or RAI [420, 426431].
– In the absence of demonstrated survival bene-
t, certain interventions can provide signi­cant palliation or reduce morbidity [423434].
– Treatment of a specic metastatic area must
be considered in light of the patient’s perfor­mance status and other sites of disease; for example, 5–20% of patients with distant metastases die from progressive cervical dis­ease [431, 435].
– Mutation proling of metastatic tumor (to
detect abnormalities in genes such as BRAF, TERT, RAS, or PAX8/PPARγ) has not yet denitively proven to be of value for estimat­ing patient prognosis or for predicting response to treatments. Thus, routine mutation proling cannot be recommended at this time outside of research settings.
– There is little if any benet derived from the
treatment of RAI-refractory DTC [436] or those with RAS mutations [437] with RAI.
13.11.4 Treatment ofPulmonary Metastases
stability (or lack thereof) of metastatic lesions. Pulmonary pneumonitis and brosis are rare complications of high-dose RAI treatment. Dosimetric approaches to therapy with a limit of “80 mCi whole-body retention at 48h and 200 cGy to the bone marrow” should be considered in patients with diffuse
131
I pulmonary uptake [438].
13.11.4.2 Pulmonary Micro-Metastases
Patients with pulmonary micro-metastases (<2 mm) that are RAI-avid have the highest rates of complete remission after treatment with RAI.These patients should be treated with RAI repeatedly every 6–12months as long as disease continues to concentrate RAI and respond clini­cally. In the presence of widespread metastases, especially when in bone, additional RAI may temporarily stabilize progression, but it is unlikely to result in cure. The RAI activity can be given empirically (100–200 mCi) or determined by dosimetry The risks of bone marrow suppression or pulmonary brosis should generate caution when repeated doses of RAI are being considered. Absolute neutrophil count and platelet counts are the usual markers of bone marrow suppression, and pulmonary function testing including diffus­ing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide can be markers of pulmonary toxicity.
13.11.4.3 Macro-Nodular Pulmonary Metastases
If demonstrated to be RAI-avid, macro-nodular pulmonary metastases may also be treated with RAI.Number of RAI doses must be individual­ized based on the disease response to treatment, age of the patient, and the presence or absence of other metastatic lesions [47, 426]. Patients with “solitary” pulmonary WDTC metastasis may be considered for surgical resection, although the potential benet weighed against the risk of sur­gery is unclear.
13.11.4.1 Therapeutic Decision
Key criteria for therapeutic decisions include (1) size of metastatic lesions (macro-nodular detected by chest radiography, micro-nodular detected by CT scan), (2) avidity for RAI and, if applicable, response to prior RAI therapy, and (3)

Metastases

therapy [47, 420]. Other focal treatment modali­ties may include surgery and EBRT. These patients should also be considered for systemic therapy with bone-directed agents. The RAI activity can be given empirically (100–200mCi) or determined by dosimetry.
13.11.6 Treatment ofBrain Metastases
Brain metastases typically occur in older patients with more advanced disease and are associated with a poor prognosis [439]. Surgical resection and ste­reotactic EBRT are the mainstays of therapy [439,
440]. There are few data showing efcacy of RAI.
Stereotactic radiation therapy is preferred to whole-brain radiation because (1) it may prolong life expectancy, (2) it induces less short- and long-term toxicities compared with whole-brain radiation (fatigue, headache, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes), and (3) it may be effec­tive even in patients with multiple brain lesions.
13.11.7 Prognosis
About 30% of patients with thyroid cancer will have metastatic cancer, with most having spread of the cancer to cervical LNs and only 1–4% hav­ing spread outside of the neck to other organs such as the lungs and bone. Most patients with thyroid cancer have an excellent prognosis, even if there is spread outside of the neck at the time of diagnosis. However, death, while rare, occurs mainly in patients that have spread of the cancer outside of the neck to other organs.
The lung is the most common site of distant metastasis (84%). The 5-year survival is about 75% in patients with single-organ metastasis and 15% in patients with multi-organ metastases. The average interval between the rst and second metastases is 15months. Progression from single- to multi-organ metastases occurs in about 75% of patients at 5years. Multi-organ distant metastases are predic­tive of poor overall survival as these patients had a three-fold higher risk of death than patients with single-organ metastases. An age>45years and an
unstimulated Tg level of >30ng/ml when distant metastasis was discovered are predictive of the development of multi- organ metastases.
13.12 Molecular Basis forThyroid Carcinogenesis
13.12.1 Introduction
Both differentiated and anaplastic thyroid carci­noma arise from the “follicular” cells, while medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) arises from “para-follicular” C-cells. Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is further classied into PTC and FTC, while MTC is further classied into familial (30%) (multi-focal) and sporadic pat­terns (70%) (uni-focal). Familial MTCs (FMTCs) usually present as a part of MEN-2A (together with phaeochromocytoma and parathyroid hyperplasia) or MEN-2B syndromes (together with pheochromocytoma and mucosal neuromas and/or GIT ganglio-neuromas) but can still pres­ent as pure FMTC [441, 442].
Thus, familial thyroid carcinomas can be either, FMTC for which the underlying genetic pattern is well-established or familial non- medullary thyroid carcinoma (FNMTC), for which the genetic back­ground is currently emerging. Although consid­ered as rare forms, familial papillary and follicular carcinomas can be broadly classied into two groups; a group with extra-thyroid familial pathol­ogies with higher incidence of FNMTC as in case of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), PTEN­hamartoma tumor syndrome, Carney’s complex type 1, and Werner’s syndrome. The other group is characterized by the predominance of the thyroid malignancy as in pure familial PTC (FPTC), FPTC with multinodular goiter, FPTC associated with renal cell carcinoma [441].
13.12.2 Genetic Background
forFMTC
A germ-line point mutation in the RET gene on chromosome 10q11.2 is responsible for the hereditary MTC. The RET proto-oncogene has

21 exons distributed over 60kb. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence revealed that it encodes a receptor tyrosinekinase with four cadherin­related repeats and a cysteine-rich region in the extra-cellular domain. About 85% of all muta­tions responsible for FMTC are well known. In the majority of MEN-IIA and FMTC patients, mutations are clustered in six cysteine residues (codons 609, 611, 618, and 620in exon 10, and codons 630 and 634 in exon 11) in the RET cysteine- rich extracellular domain. These muta­tions have been detected in about 95% of MEN­IIA syndrome and 85% of FMTC families. Somatic RET point mutations have been identi­ed in about 50% of patients with sporadic MTC [441, 443].
13.12.3 Genetic Background forFNMTC
A recent review [444] on the genetics of FNMTC conrmed six potential regions for harboring an FNMTC gene: MNG1 (14q32), TCO (19p13.2), FPTC/PRN (1q21), NMTC1 (2q21), FTEN (8p23.1–p22), and the telomere–telomerase com­plex. Important genes reported to have been excluded are RET, TRK, MET, APC, PTEN, and TSHR.The familial cancer syndromes associated with NMTC are summarized in Table13.20 and those with predominance of NMTC are shown in Table13.21.
13.12.4 Evolving Molecular Understanding ofSporadic Cases ofThyroid Carcinoma
Thyroid follicular cell growth requires the effect of TSH through cAMP pathway and growth fac­tors (e.g., IGF-1) through MAP kinase (MAPK) and Phosphatidyl-Inositol-3 kinase (PI3K) path­ways [446]. In radiation-induced PTC, expres­sion of RET/PTC was reported to be the main mutation. RET/PTC is a chimeric gene formed by chromosomal recombination, and the product retains the tyrosine kinase domain of RET. Normally, RET is not expressed or expressed in low quantities in follicular cells. Recombination occurs with heterologous gene, either in the form of RET/PTC-1 or RET/PTC-2. These mutations are present in 66–87% of the radiation-induced PTC.However, it is not exclu­sive to this type as it is found in around 40% of sporadic pediatric PTC and 15–20% of sporadic adult PTC [288, 289].
Other effectors of the MAPK pathway are also implicated in the thyroid carcinogenesis includ­ing BRAF, the predominant isoform of the serine­threonine kinase (RAF) in thyroid cells [289]. Recent studies reported mutations of BRAF as the most common mutation in PTC (36–69%). This mutation was also reported to be associated with more aggressive behaviors of PTC, as it is detected in tall cell PTC and anaplastic carci­noma resulting from de-differentiation of PTC
