摘要
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) (less than 10% of all thyroid cancer) is a high-grade neoplasm, characterized by an aggressive clinical course and refractoriness to currently available local and systemic modalities of treatment. It is considered the most aggressive solid tumour, there is no adequate therapy for this disease and few patients with ATC live more than 1 year following diagnosis. We report herein an unusual case of ATC in a 59-year-old woman. She presented to our Institute in December 2004. She received many kinds of chemotherapeutical and multimodal treatment; we obtained a long period of localized disease (about two years) and an excellent response to therapy. She is still alive 58 months from diagnosis.
