Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal thyroid malignancies, with limited effective treatment options. We aimed to identify previously unreported gene alterations and evaluate the potential for clinically actionable targeted therapies in ATC using the largest single next-generation sequencing (NGS) cohort to date. METHODS: This retrospective genomi…
