Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma: characteristics at presentation, and evaluation of clinical and histological features associated with a worse prognosis in a Latin American cohort

Abstract: Objective We aimed to describe the presentation of papillary microcarcinoma (PTMC) and identify the clinical and histological features associated with persistence/recurrence in a Latin American cohort. Subjects and methods Retrospective study of PTMC patients who underwent total thyroidectomy, with or without radioactive iodine (RAI), and who were followed for at least 2 years. Risk of recurrence was estimated with ATA 2009 and 2015 classifications, and risk of mortality with 7th and 8th AJCC/TNM systems. Clin… Show more

“…The criterion of minimal ETE for T-staging has been removed from AJCC/TNM system version 8. One reason is that minimal ETE is not an independent risk factor associated with prognosis for patients with PTC (3335). However, the change has sparked widespread controversy, and some specialists put proposed a different perspective in which minimal ETE would increase the risk for recurrence (36, 37).…”

“…Studies have reported that PTMC accounts for nearly 50% of newly found papillary thyroid carcinoma. 5 Although PTMC progresses slowly and has a good prognosis, 6 there is still a local recurrence rate of 2%-6%, and distant metastasis occurs in 1%-2% of patients. 7 At present, the best treatment for papillary thyroid carcinoma is surgery + RAI + TSH suppression therapy.…”
