PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well everolimus works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: Primary * To evaluate response rate in patients with locally advanced or metastatic, unresectable or refractory thyroid cancer treated with everolimus. Secondary * To evaluate overall survival of these patients treated with everolimus. * To evaluate progression-free survival of these patients. * To evaluate toxicity of this therapy in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive oral everolimus once daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
