Flavopereirine exerts anti-cancer activities in various human thyroid cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Thyroid cancer (TC) stands out as the most prevalent endocrine malignancy globally, with a steadily increasing incidence. Its clinical manifestations include enlarged thyroid nodules, dysphagia, enophthalmos, and various other symptoms. While standard treatments such as thyroidectomy and radioiodine therapy effectively manage most cases of differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC), some recurrent cases of DTC or those involving poorly differentiated thyroid cancers (PDTC) require specialized interventions. However, existing drugs primarily address symptom management without offering a curative solution.
