Association of Treatment Strategies and Tumor Characteristics With Overall Survival Among Patients With Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer: A Single-Institution 21-Year Experience.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Survival outcomes for anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), the most aggressive subtype of thyroid cancers, have remained poor. However, targeted therapies and immunotherapies present new opportunities for treatment of this disease. Evaluations of survival outcomes over time with new multimodal therapies are needed for optimizing treatment plans.

Objective

To evaluate the association of treatment strategies and tumor characteristics with overall survival (OS) among patients with ATC.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective case series study evaluated the survival outcomes stratified by treatment strategies and tumor characteristics among patients with ATC treated at a tertiary level academic institution from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2021. De
