RE: Management of Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma
We read with great interest the case report by Sun et al. (1), entitled “Papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with radiofrequency ablation in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case report,” and the letter to the editor by Kim (2), both of which were published in the Korean Journal of Radiology. Sun et al. (1) presented a case of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) treated with ra...
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 کاملThyroid Nodule <1cm and Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma: What are today’s Management Options?
The referred ATA Guideline [1] eliminates the biopsy from the management of the sub centimeter nodules, suggesting repetition of sonography every 6-12 months. The committee justified this action, to indicate FNAB only for suspicious nodules above 1cm, by the indolence of the papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and because these tumors rarely present ETE, cervical lymph node or distant metas...
متن کاملTreatment for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma
AIM OF THE STUDY The treatment for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), which is a tumor measuring less than 1 cm, is still a subject of controversy. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the patients diagnosed with PTMC in terms of their clinical and histopathological features. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 153 consecutive patients with PTMC were treated, and their clini...
متن کاملInsights into the Management of Papillary Microcarcinoma of the Thyroid
BACKGROUND Rapid increases in the incidence of thyroid carcinoma with stable mortality rates from thyroid carcinoma have been reported from many countries, and these increases are thought to be due mostly to the increased detection of small papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs), including papillary microcarcinomas (PMCs; i.e., PTCs ≤10 mm). Some researchers have suggested that small PTCs have bee...
