Treatment and survival vary by race/ethnicity in patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer.

In this population-based study of patients with ATC, nonwhite patients were found to be less likely to receive treatment. Furthermore, nonwhite patients had poorer overall survival, and patients living in areas of high poverty had both worse overall and disease-specific survival. Racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities appear to exist in the treatment and survival of patients with ATC. Cancer 2018;124:1780-90. © 2018 American Cancer Society.
