NCCN Flash Update: NCCN Guidelines and Compendium Updated

Flash Update Sent December 22, 2010

NCCN has published updates to the NCCN Guidelines™ and NCCN Drugs & Biologics Compendium (NCCN Compendium™) for Thyroid Carcinoma. These NCCN Guidelines are currently available as Version 1.2011.

  • Denosumab (category 2A) was added as a treatment option to consider for patients with bone metastases in the Papillary, Follicular, Hürthle cell, and Medullary carcinoma guidelines.  A corresponding footnote was added that states, “Denosumab can be associated with severe hypocalcemia; patients with hypoparathyroidism and vitamin D deficiency are at increased risk.”
  • Pazopanib (category 2B) was added to the Papillary, Follicular, and Hürthle cell carcinoma guidelines in a footnote listing small molecule kinase inhibitors to consider as therapy for patients with metastatic disease in sites other than the CNS.
  • The Thyroid Nodule Evaluation algorithm was extensively revised.
  • The staging tables in the guidelines were updated to reflect the 7th edition (2010) of the AJCC Staging Manual.
