Abstract: Anaplastic thyroid cancer(ATC)is a rare invasive thyroid tumor associated with rapid progression and poor prognosis. Currently, there is no effective treatment or early diagnosis. Some scholars have shown that the poor prognosis of ATC is due to the early mutation and invasive growth of the tumor; consequently, new directions in research involve the driving mutation of the pathogenesis of ATC and targeted drug therapies. Different molecular pathways related to tumor progression are involved in ATC. Some scholars have explored the implementation of new therapies that act on these molecular pathways to improve patients' quality of life. The research results on the molecular structural characteristics of ATC bring hope for new targeted therapies. The new molecular mechanisms will help us discover more potential therapeutic targets. We have reviewed the recent research on the molecular mechanisms of ATC.

Key words: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, Invasive malignancy, Molecular mechanism, Genes, Targeted therapy
