Outcomes of multimodal therapy in a large series of patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer

The role of radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) for local tumor control is critical because mortality often is secondary to complications of tumor volume rather than metastatic disease. Herein, the authors report the long‐term outcomes of RT for patients with ATC.
