Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare but almost invariably lethal disease The histological diagnosis of ATC requires an expert pathologist who can distinguish the anaplastic features of ATC from those of poorly differentiated thyroid cancer The molecular and genetic alterations that define ATC ha...
Anaplastic thyroid cancer is an uncommon, typically lethal malignancy of older adults with no effective systemic therapy. The mean survival time is usually less than 6 months from the time of diagnosis and, unfortunately, this outcome is not fundamentally altered by available treatments. Histologic ...
There is no such thing as an early diagnosis of anaplastic thyroid cancer. In fact, in our section ofstaging of anaplastic thyroid canceryou will see that the AJCC staging system begins at T4 (the most advanced T stage). What you need to know is the following. Do not delay or postpone ...

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is a rare, rapidly progressive, and highly aggressive tumor. It has a global annual incidence of 1–2 per million people. It mostly affects older adults and women. The median survival duration after diagnosis does not exceed
Since single- modality therapy has limited effect on anaplastic thyroid cancer, aggressive multimodal treat- ments are now the treatment of choice, in spite of which, the mean survival time from diagnosis to death continues to remain at about 6 months. The current review attempts to summarize ...
