A member asked:

Anaplastic thyroid cance for 70 yrs old man, he made the surgery and will take radotherapy wiz chemo.i wanna know how many yrs or months he will live?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unknown: Unfortunately, anaplastic thyroid cancer is the most deadly form of thyroid cancer. Most patients do not live more than 6-12 months, no matter what treatment is attempted. However, there are always a few people who beat the odds, so there is always hope. Good luck.
