Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) accounts for approximately 1–2% of all thyroid cancers in the United States, while the prevalence ranges from 1% to 10% worldwide (Smallridge RC and Copland JA. Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol). 2010;22:486–97.). Though rare, ATC remains a deadly disease, accounting for over half of annual deaths from thyroid carcinoma. In this chapter, the treatments for anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and their clinical utility within the realm of neoadjuvant therapy will be explored.
