★ DEFAULT
Indication
IND-ATC-PACLITAXEL-CARBOPLATIN
Regimen
Paclitaxel + carboplatin (ATC, palliative 1L)
Drugs + NSZU
  • Paclitaxel (DRUG-PACLITAXEL) Paclitaxel 175 mg/m² · Per regimen schedule · IV ✓ NSZU covered

Reason
Primary current-line option selected by ALGO-THYROID-ANAPLASTIC-1L at step 3; branch-driving red flag: RF-FITNESS-ECOG-FIT.

Other current-line alternatives (1 tracks)

Same treatment line; review when biomarker, access, contraindication, or patient-context assumptions change.

Indication
IND-ATC-BRAF-V600E-DAB-TRAM
Regimen
Dabrafenib + trametinib (anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, BRAF V600E)
Drugs + NSZU

Triggers from the patient profile that fired and drove the chosen branch.
Step 3 → branch IND-ATC-PACLITAXEL-CARBOPLATIN
  • RF-FITNESS-ECOG-FIT ★ winner: Fit performance status (ECOG 0-1): patient is fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out light work. Eligible for full-dose chemotherapy and intensive regimens (CHOEP, BEACOPP-escalated, HD-MTX, ASCT consolidation, CAR-T). SRC-NCCN-BCELL-2025SRC-ESMO-DLBCL-2024

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • Age ≥75 with ECOG ≥2 or ≥2 comorbidities — cisplatin-paclitaxel CRT poorly tolerated and curative-intent surgical resection often not feasible; for BRAF-mutant ATC, dabrafenib + trametinib monotherapy (without RT or surgery) is reasonable; for BRAF-wild-type frail patients, palliative-intent care + tracheostomy for airway management is often the appropriate path. ATC frailty assessment must integrate with palliative-care planning given short median OS. RF-THYROID-ANAPLASTIC-FRAILTY-AGE
  • Active or latent infection requiring resolution / prophylaxis before initiating cisplatin / paclitaxel / doxorubicin chemoradiation, dabrafenib + trametinib, larotrectinib / entrectinib, or selpercatinib for ATC: HBsAg-positive (HBV reactivation on cytotoxic + targeted), anti-HBc-positive (occult HBV), HIV-positive (ART coordination, CYP3A4 interactions with TKIs), or active TB. Disease tempo limits ability to fully resolve infection — pragmatic prophylaxis approach required. RF-THYROID-ANAPLASTIC-INFECTION-SCREENING
  • Baseline organ dysfunction precluding standard cisplatin / paclitaxel / doxorubicin chemoradiation or affecting BRAF-MEK-inhibitor dosing in ATC: CrCl <30 mL/min (cisplatin contraindicated), LVEF <50% (doxorubicin contraindicated; trametinib cardiac monitoring), bilirubin >3× ULN (BRAFi/MEKi hepatic clearance), QTc >480 ms (dabrafenib QT signal), or compromised airway from tumor (tracheostomy or stent required before systemic therapy initiation). RF-THYROID-ANAPLASTIC-ORGAN-DYSFUNCTION

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-ATC-BRAF-V600E-DAB-TRAM)
  • НІКОЛИ не призначати дабрафеnoб без траметиnoбу — монотерапія BRAFi при BRAF V600E ATC викликає парадоксальну активацію MAPK та може прискорити ріст пухлини
  • Не відкладати тестування BRAF V600E — іnoціювати в день отримання матеріалу біопсії (RAID-протокол); ATC — швидко прогресуюча хвороба
  • Не призначати при BRAF V600 дикого типу або не-V600E мутації (BRAF клас 2/3) — інша мішень, BRAFi неефективний
  • Не починати при QTc >500 мс або LVEF нижче нижньої межі норми — кардіологічна оцінка обов'язкова перед початком
  • Не пропускати дерматологічний огляд кожno 4-8 тижnoв — шкірний плоскоклітинний рак / кератоакантома є класовим ефектом BRAFi
  • Не відкладати хірургічну консультацію при хорошій відповіді — мета неоад'ювантної терапії: конверсія до резектабельності
