Anaplastic thyroid cancer: lines of therapy
4 standard-of-care settings across 4 lines and 2 biomarker subgroups. Rows come from the cancer page's standard of care; the grid places each on its line and subgroup.
| Line | All comers | BRAF |
|---|---|---|
| Screening, prevention and diagnosis | 1 | · |
| Early / localised | · | 1 |
| Advanced, first line | · | 1 |
| Other settings | · | 1 |
Screening, prevention and diagnosis
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |

| BRAF | Unresectable BRAF wild-type | Chemoradiation or immunotherapy in trials; lenvatinib in some countries; palliative radiotherapy and airway support. | 91 |
Other settings
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BRAF | BRAF V600E-mutant | Dabrafenib plus trametinib, with pembrolizumab in many centres; neoadjuvant use to make tumours resectable, then surgery and radiotherapy. | 98 |
Lines and subgroups are parsed from the setting text of each standard-of-care row and can misclassify an unusual phrasing; the row’s own setting is always shown. Guideline chips reflect the NCCN category and ESMO-MCBS grade recorded on the cancer page, checked on its stated date. Not medical advice.
