FAST Team
There are only 500 new anaplastic thyroid cancer cases diagnosed each year in the U.S. Most doctors will never see a case, and up to 30% of patients with ATC are misdiagnosed.
At MD Anderson, we have treated hundreds of patients with ATC. Our combined expertise and access to emerging therapies offer the best hope of effective treatment.
