  • Pathologic findings supporting the clinical impression of anaplastic thyroid cancer. Terminology consistent or suggestive of diagnosis may include the following: anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, squamous carcinoma; carcinoma with spindled, giant cell, or epithelial features; poorly differentiated carcinoma with pleomorphism, extensive necrosis with tumor cells present.
  • Subject is willing to have a fresh biopsy at least 3 days prior to neoadjuvant therapy if archival tissue is unavailable. Also willing to have a biopsy at the time of SOC surgery, if applicable.
