A subset of thyroid carcinomas expresses an oncogenic paired box 8 (PAX8) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) fusion protein (PPFP). The PPARγ/PPFP ligand pioglitazone is highly therapeutic in a transgenic mouse model of PPFP thyroid carcinoma, but whether pioglitazone is therapeutic in patients with PPFP thyroid carcinoma is unknown.
