Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare but almost invariably lethal disease. In this manuscript, we present a case where the dominant manifestation of ATC beside the goitre was elevated CRP values and a persistent low-grade fever. The patient underwent surgical removal of the tumour, chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. She is still alive and healthy 11 months after the surgery. We aim to demonstrate that ATC can be present with no specific symptoms or findings and to raise awareness towards an earlier diagnosis.

Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer (ATC) is an aggressive form of cancer with poor prognosis, heavily influenced by its tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Understanding the cellular and gene expression dynamics within the TIME is crucial for developing targeted therapies. This study analyzes the immune microenvironment of ATC and Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

We highlight the key role of both traditional and new biomarkers in improving the treatment of these cancers. For anaplastic thyroid cancer, biomarkers are crucial for detecting distant metastases and making treatment decisions.

Background: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a highly lethal form of thyroid cancer. lysine acetyltransferase 5 (KAT5) has been found to promote ATC development via c-Myc stabilization by previous study. We thus designed experiments to confirm the anti-tumor effect of a KAT5 inhibitor (MG149) in ATC.

Background: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is the most aggressive thyroid malignancy and has an extremely poor prognosis, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies. This study investigated the role of anillin (ANLN) in ATC, focusing on its impact on tumor growth and metastasis through the RhoA/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
Methods: TCGA and GEO datasets were analyzed to identify key molecular alterations in thyroid cancer.

Background: Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) rearrangement is a rare alteration in differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTCs). Due to its low prevalence, a few evidence are available about the use of ALK inhibitors in advanced DTCs.
Methods: We report the case of a striatin (STRN) - ALK translocated advanced thyroid carcinoma.
