  • * WHO = World Health Organization criteria: regressive disease = >25% reduction in tumor size; SD = <25% reduction or increase in tumor size; PD = >25% increase in tumor size. SWOG = Southwest Oncology Group criteria of tumor response: PR = >50% reduction in tumor size; SD = ±25% reduction or increase in tumor size; PD = >25% increase in tumor size.

  • TC = undefined thyroid cancer; ATC = anaplastic thyroid carcinoma; NA = not available.
