radical excision is not possible in anpastic carcinoma as it infiltrate the sorrounding structures very fast or by the time of presentation
[the question itself tells the carcinoma is infiltrated into trachea and sternum]
the answer is mostly palliative or symptomatic treatment.the prognosis is very grave in this condition

anaplastic thyroid cancer is a poorly differentiated and aggressive cancer. The prognosis is poor, and most patients die within 6 months of diagnosis. Because of the undifferentiated state of these tumors, the uptake of radioiodine is usually negligible, but it can be used therapeutically if there is residual uptake. Chemotherapy has been attempted with multiple agents, including anthracyclines and paclitaxel, but is usually ineffective. External radiation therapy can be attempted and continued if tumors are responsive
this is the notes i got from harrisson.
take care and have a great day
