Resumen
Introducción/objetivo

El carcinoma anaplásico de tiroides es una de las neoplasias humanas más agresivas, con una evolución invariablemente fatal. Representa aproximadamente el 1% del total de tumores tiroideos. El objetivo de este estudio es mostrar la experiencia acumulada en nuestro servicio en el manejo y evolución de este tipo de tumores

Material y métodos

Se realiza un estudio retrospectivo entre los años 1989 y 2000, estudiando todos los casos diagnosticados de carcinoma anaplásico de tiroides en nuestro servicio

Resultados

Se contabilizan un total de 15 pacientes, con diagnóstico mediante biopsia de carcinoma anaplásico de tiroides. Se realiza tratamiento con intención curativa en 3 casos; recibiendo los 12 restantes diferentes tratamientos paliativos. Ningún caso sobrevivió más de un año, siendo la supervivencia media de 3,5 meses

Discusión/conclusiones

Abstract

Anaplastic thyroid cancer ranks among the most lethal of all known human malignancies, and remains almost uniformly fatal. It represents approximately 1% of all thyroid carcinomas

Materials and methods

A retrospective study was performed including all anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cases diagnosed in our institution between 1989 and 2000

Results

We collected 15 cases previously biopsied as anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Three of them were treated with a curative intention; different palliative modalities were carried out for the remaining cases. None of the cases survived more than 1 year, and the median survival time was 3.5 months

Discussion/Conclusion

This study confirms the previously known aggresiveness of this neoplasm, in which the prognosis and evolution remain to be fatal
