What Are the Treatments for Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer?
Anaplastic thyroid cancer, also called undifferentiated cancer, is rare, comprising approximately 2 percent of all thyroid cancers, according to the American Cancer Society. The cells are undifferentiated when seen under a microscope, which means they do not look like normal cells; this is a sign of a more aggressive cancer. Treatment for this kind of cancer depends on how extensive the cancer has spread and the patient’s general health.
