Abstract

Anaplastic thyroid cancer(ATC)is a rare but highly lethal form of thyroid cancer. The original ATC guidelines were published by American Thyroid Association in 2012. The guidelines recommend that once the diagnosis of ATC has been verified, rapid evaluation and establishment of treatment goals are imperative, and a multidisciplinary management is required. Radical surgical resection and high doses of external beam radiotherapy are important factors associated with prolonged survival. (Chin J Endocrinol Metab, 2014, 30: 284-287) Key words: Anaplastic thyroid cancer; Guidelines; Surgery; Radiotherapy; Systemic chemotherapy
