Abstract
Objective
To analyze the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management and survival of Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinomas (ATC) in the Hospitals of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain).
Material and methods
Retrospective multicenter descriptive study. Adult patients with ATC diagnosed from 2002 to 2022 were included.
Results
Of the 43 patients included, 53.5% were women, with a mean age of 72 years (SD 10) at the time of diagnosis. Symptoms were present in 100% of the patients and the most frequent symptom was a rapidly growing mass (79.1% of the cases). Infiltration of neighboring structures (76.7%), lymph node involvement (78.1%) and distant metastasis (51.2%). The AJCC-TNM category was IVa in 9.3%, IVb in 39.5% and IVc in 51.2%. BRAFV600E determination was not performed in 74.4% and 5 of the 11 cases in which it was evaluated (45.4%) had the mutation. Active treatment was received in 76.7% of patients in the first 3 months. Surgical approach was performed in 63.6% of the cases, with complete resection in 23.8%, and 51.5% received multimodality treatment in this period. 42.3% received active treatment during follow-up (≥ 3 months), primarily systemic chemotherapy (72.7%), and 54.4% received multimodality treatment during this period. The median specific survival was 3.5 months (95% CI 1.7-5.2). Factors associated with longer specific survival were initial multimodality treatment (p < 0.01) or during follow-up (p = 0.01) and initial BRAF/MEK inhibitor treatment (p = 0.04).
Conclusion
CAT is an infrequent and aggressive tumor that requires early, multidisciplinary, personalized and multimodal treatment.
期刊介绍:
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición, SEEN) and the Spanish Society of Diabetes (Sociedad Española de Diabetes, SED), and was founded in 1954. The aim of the journal is to improve knowledge and be a useful tool in practice for clinical and laboratory specialists, trainee physicians, researchers, and nurses interested in endocrinology, diabetes, nutrition and related disciplines. It is an international journal published in Spanish (print and online) and English (online), covering different fields of endocrinology and metabolism, including diabetes, obesity, and nutrition disorders, as well as the most relevant research produced mainly in Spanish language territories. The quality of the contents is ensured by a prestigious national and international board, and by a selected panel of specialists involved in a rigorous peer review. The result is that only manuscripts containing high quality research and with utmost interest for clinicians and professionals related in the field are published. The Journal publishes Original clinical and research articles, Reviews, Special articles, Clinical Guidelines, Position Statements from both societies and Letters to the editor. Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición can be found at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/PubMed and SCOPUS.
