Patients diagnosed with radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer (RAIR‐TC) are not amenable to novel 131I therapy due to the reduced expression of sodium iodide symporter (Na+/I‐ symporter, NIS) and/or the impairment of NIS trafficking to the plasma membrane. RAIR‐TC patients have a relatively poor prognosis with a mean life expectancy of 3–5 years, contributing to the majority of TC‐associated mortality. Identifying RAIR‐TC patients and selecting proper treatment strategies remain challenging for clinicians. In this review, we demonstrate the updated clinical scenarios or the so‐called “definitions” of RAIR‐TC suggested by several associations based on 131I uptake ability and tumor response post‐131I therapy. We also discuss current knowledge of the molecular alterations involved in membrane‐localized NIS loss, which provides a preclinical basis for the development of targeted therapies, in particular, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), redifferentiation approaches, and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
