Restoration of Iodine Uptake with Larotrectinib In a woman with thyroid cancer expressing
an EML4-NTRK3 fusion gene, the cancer had become refractory to radioactive iodine when
the capacity of the tumors to take up iodine was lost. The use of larotrectinib, an NTRK
inhibitor, resulted in a partial response and restored iodine uptake in the tumor cells.
