The results of this meta-analysis suggest that targeted therapy with TKIs may be beneficial for patients with radioiodine-refractory advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer. Among the TKIs analyzed, lenvatinib appeared to be the most effective at improving PFS, although it also had the highest incidence of AEs. Further research through direct randomized controlled trials is needed to determine the optimal choice of TKI for treating patients with RAIR-DTC. This study is beneficial for formulating patients' treatment plans and guides clinicians' decision-making.
