ABSTRACT
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) can often have an indolent course despite distant metastatic disease. Additionally, given that metastatic MTC is incurable and systemic therapies have non-negligeable toxicities, localized treatments are often favored in presence of oligo-progressive disease. Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 (Y90) has emerged as a safe and efficacious treatment for nonresectable primary and metastatic liver tumors, yet data supporting its use in metastatic MTC are limited. We present the case of a patient with hereditary MTC and large bilobar liver metastases who demonstrated tumor response and resolution of their paraneoplastic diarrhea following TARE with Y90 microspheres.
