At the first stage, targeted therapy (dabrafenib + trametinib) was performed, which allowed achieving pronounced clinico-metabolic regression and performing radical multi-stage surgical treatment. Subsequently, with the development of drug resistance and the detection of high expression of programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD-L1) (Combined Positive Score (CPS) – the ratio of the number of PD-L1-positive cells to the total number of tumor cells = 100), immunotargeted therapy with pembrolizumab in combination with lenvatinib was prescribed, resulting in a partial metabolic response. Despite the subsequent disease progression, overall survival from the time of diagnosis was 46 months. The presented clinical case demonstrates the importance of molecular profiling and the use of a multidisciplinary approach, as well as the possibility of using active surgical management in the oligoprogression of anaplastic thyroid cancer.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье представлен клинический случай лечения анапластического рака щитовидной железы IV стадии с мутацией V600E в гене <italic>BRAF</italic> и отдаленным метастазированием (включая метастаз в правом желудочке сердца и правом надпочечнике). На 1-м этапе проведена таргетная терапия (дабрафениб + траметиниб), позволившая достичь выраженной клинико-метаболической регрессии и выполнить радикальное многоэтапное хирургическое лечение. В дальнейшем при развитии лекарственной резистентности и выявлении высокой экспрессии лиганда рецептора программируемой клеточной гибели 1 (PD-L1) (Combined Positive Score (CPS) – соотношение количества PD-L1-положительных клеток к общему количеству опухолевых клеток = 100) назначена иммунотаргетная терапия пембролизумабом в комбинации с ленватинибом, на фоне которой достигнут частичный метаболический ответ. Несмотря на последующее прогрессирование заболевания, общая выживаемость с момента установления диагноза составила 46 мес. Представленный клинический случай демонстрирует значимость молекулярного профилирования и использования мультидисциплинарного подхода, а также возможность применения активной хирургической тактики при олигопрогрессировании анапластического рака щитовидной железы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>anaplastic thyroid cancer</kwd><kwd>targeted therapy</kwd><kwd>immunotherapy</kwd><kwd>BRAFV600E</kwd><kwd>oligometastatic disease</kwd><kwd>multidisciplinary approach</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>анапластический рак щитовидной железы</kwd><kwd>таргетная терапия</kwd><kwd>иммунотерапия</kwd><kwd>BRAFV600E</kwd><kwd>олигометастатическое поражение</kwd><kwd>мультидисциплинарный подход</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">The state of oncological care for the Russian population in 2024.
