The sporadic RET-mutated MTC poses novel challenges for targeted treatment. The authors present a case of a 60-year-old male diagnosed in 2018 with MTC who underwent total thyroidectomy with sternotomy and bilateral cervical lymph node dissection - pT3N1b R1 L1 V1 Pn0 cM1 (hepatic and lung metastasis). According to the decisions made by the multidisciplinary tumor board, the patient received multiple palliative systemic treatments. Despite an initial response, vandetanib was accompanied by grade 3 high blood pressure and progression after 14 months of treatment. This evidence concerns the gene RET and hypertensive disorder.
