Lova Sun, MD, MCSE, assistant professor at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, discusses the important of next-generation sequencing for patients with thyroid cancer.

Arvind Dasari, MD, explores the adverse event profile of Fruquintinib, highlighting its apparent tolerability, while emphasizing the importance of gathering real-world data to further assess the adverse event profile of this medication in clinical practice.

Medical professionals provide background on the FRESCO-2 trial, which compared Fruquintinib to placebo in patients with heavily pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer. The trial enrolled patients who had exhausted all standard treatment options, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted therapies, anti-VEGF agents, and BRAF inhibitors for those with BRAF mutations.
