Disease-free survival over 3 years after surgery for anaplastic thyroid carcinoma： a case report

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1009-976X.2020.05.020

Abstract

Abstract: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is quite an aggressive cancer from thyroid follicular epithelial cells. For low morbidity, surgical indication and extent are still controversial currently. This article not only reported an ATC case of which disease-free survival was over 3 years after surgery, but also reviewed clinical pathological characteristics and treatment approach.

Key words: disease-free survival, thyroid carcinoma, anaplastic

摘要： 甲状腺未分化癌（ATC）是一种恶性程度极高的甲状腺滤泡上皮肿瘤,临床较少见,目前手术指征与手术范围的把握尚存在争议。本文通过一例无病生存率超过3年的ATC的诊治过程,结合文献复习ATC的临床病理特征与治疗方法。

关键词: 无病生存率, 甲状腺未分化癌
