Many considerations must be taken into account for establishing selection criteria for candidates for AS...
متن کاملA new paradigm in low-risk papillary microcarcinoma: active surveillance
Classical papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is a variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) known to have excellent prognosis. It has a mortality of 0.3%, even in the presence of distance metastasis. The latest American Thyroid Association guidelines state that although lobectomy is acceptable, active surveillance can be considered in the appropriate setting. We present the case of a 37...
متن کاملPapillary thyroid microcarcinoma: a surgical perspective.

It is the most common form of thyroid cancer, detected in up to 36% in autopsy studies. The wide availability and use of neck ultrasonography in the evaluation of carotid arteries and of the thyroid resulted in an increased detection of PTMC. PTMC is often multifoc...
