Clinical case of successful treatment of a patient with anaplastic thyroid cancer in combination with ischemic heart disease and critical multivessel coronary artery disease

Abstract

The article presents a clinical case of a patient with locally advanced anaplastic thyroid cancer and concomitant cardiovascular pathology. Anaplastic thyroid cancer is a very rare and highly aggressive disease requiring long-term multistage treatment, often using cardiotoxic drugs. Combination of this pathology with ischemic heart disease affecting coronary arteries is a complex clinical problem requiring timely evaluation of cardiac risk at every stage. Treatment of this patient cohort is possible only by a multidisciplinary team of specialists.
