Recent Progress of Genome Study for Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer by Jieun Lee, Jung-Ah Hwang, Eun Kyung Lee

“…Also, it shows high resistance to cancer treatments, so that effective treatment for ATC has not been found to date, and virtually all patients terminate their life rapidly after diagnosis. Although targeted treatment of genetic alterations has emerged as an extremely promising approach to human cancers, such as BRAF in metastatic melanoma, it remains unclear that how commonly genomic alterations are influenced in ATC tumorigenesis. …”
