Abstract Text While papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) generally exhibits a favorable prognosis post-surgery, the poorly differentiated subtype presents elevated rates of postoperative recurrence. Certain aggressive cases demonstrate invasive behavior, compromising adjacent structures and leading to a poor prognosis. This study delineates a unique case of postoperative PTC recurrence, complicated by esophageal fistula, that showed favorable outcomes following brief Vemurafenib treatment.A 64-year-old female patient underwent surgical resection for PTC, subsequently experiencing rapid tumor recurrence and development of an esophageal fistula.The patient was confirmed to have locally advanced PTC through intraoperative cytopathology. The cancer recurred postoperatively, culminating in the formation of an esophageal fistula.The patient was administered Vemurafenib at a dosage of 960 mg twice daily following tumor recurrence.A 12-month regimen of targeted Vemurafenib therapy led to a substantial reduction in tumor size. Concurrently, the esophageal fistula underwent complete healing, facilitating successful removal of the gastrostomy tube. The tumor response was classified as stable disease.Vemurafenib demonstrates potential as a targeted therapeutic strategy for recurrent PTC harboring the BRAFV600E mutation. This approach may effectively mitigate tumor dimensions and the associated risk of esophageal and tracheal fistulas.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

BRAF V600E thyroid gland papillary carcinoma sensitive Vemurafenib Case Reports/Case Series Actionable In a clinical case study, Zelboraf (vemurafenib) treatment resulted in a partial response with approximately 90% tumor shrinkage and a progression-free survival of 10 months in a patient with metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma harboring BRAF V600E (PMID: 38489728). 38489728
