Outcomes Following Aggressive Management of Locoregional Disease in Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma in the Era of Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) accounts for less than 5% of thyroid cancers and is associated with rapid disease progression and very poor treatment outcomes. For locally advanced tumors, external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) administered after surgical resection or as primary treatment in operable disease, is considered the standard of care. We evaluated the outcomes following aggressive management of locoregional disease with multimodality therapy in the era of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
