Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer
Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) remains one of the most aggressive and deadliest malignancies. Traditionally, treatment consisted of cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation therapy, with or without surgery, although a large proportion of patients were often directed toward palliative/hospice care. In the past decade, significant advances have been made through the advent of targeted therapies and immunotherapy. For patients with targetable disease and considerable treatment response, surgery and other multidisciplinary adjuvant therapies can now be considered. Overall, the era of untreatable ATC is progressively being replaced by highly personalized multidisciplinary therapies, actively shifting the treatment pendulum of this disease.

“The average age of onset is 65-70 years, and the average survival of patients with ATC using currently used therapies is estimated at 4-6 months, with approximately 35% of patients achieving 6-month survival. [6,16,18].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
