About this trial

The study is aimed at all adult patients diagnosed with advanced thyroid carcinomas and well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC) iodine-refractory, well-differentiated iodine-refractory thyroid (RAI-R DTC) metastatic carcinomas that are candidates for systemic therapy. By simple blood sampling and analysis on peripheral blood of circulating DNA (ccf-DNA), circulating RNA (ccf-RNA), and counting and analysis of circulating tumor cells through the use of liquid biopsy, molecular profiling corresponding to those obtained by genomic sequencing on tumor tissue can be arrived at, depending on optimal therapeutic choices
