Indication
RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer
RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer refers to a molecularly defined malignancy of the endocrine system—predominantly differentiated thyroid carcinomas such as papillary thyroid cancer—characterized by oncogenic genomic rearrangements involving the *RET* proto-oncogene.

Coming soonRET fusion-positive thyroid cancer refers to a molecularly defined malignancy of the endocrine system—predominantly differentiated thyroid carcinomas such as papillary thyroid cancer—characterized by oncogenic genomic rearrangements involving the *RET* proto-oncogene.
These chromosomal fusions join the kinase domain of *RET* to partner genes, such as *CCDC6* or *NCOA4*, causing ligand-independent dimerization and continuous activation of downstream MAPK and PI3K/AKT proliferation pathways.
Pathophysiologically, this driver alteration fosters tumor growth, invasiveness, and, in advanced or metastatic settings, resistance to conventional radioactive iodine therapy.
