Thyroid Cancer, Apatinib, Intensity modulated radiation therapy
Brief summary
To determine the efficacy and safety of intensity modulated radiation therapy combined with apatinib for inoperable or iodine refractory thyroid cancer.
Interventions
Apatinib will be used as induction therapy in experimental arm.
Intensity modulated radiation therapy will be used for patients with progression disease during induction therapy or after induction therapy.
