“…Classically, follicular carcinomas have been subdivided according to their degree of invasiveness into two major categories [2,3]. Minimally invasive follicular carcinomas have limited capsular and/or vascular invasion, and have an overall good prognosis although some patients may recur and develop metastasis [7,8]. In contrast, the widely invasive type of follicular carcinomas have widespread gross invasion of the thyroid parenchyma and peri-thyroid soft tissue and/or into blood vessels [2,3] and have a poor prognosis [8].…”

“…However, long-term survival is high with adequate follow-up and the early treatment of its recurrence, with a disease-related mortality rate of only 3---6%. 6 Surgery is the procedure of choice, and although the extent of surgery is controversial, total thyroidectomy is the most currently accepted option. Since thyroidectomy is more radical (tumors are often bilateral and multifocal), it allows for subsequent ablation with 131 I, and allows for the use of thyroglobulin and an iodine scan to detect any recurrence.…”

“…3---5 Because of the above mentioned infrequency and heterogeneity of FTC, joint analysis with PTC makes it difficult to ascertain the true incidence of FTC. 3,6 Moreover, the prognostic factors reported in these studies are more predictive for PTC than for FTC. 5 Few studies include a sufficient number of patients with FTC for a separate analysis of this condition, 7---9 which makes it difficult to detect prognostic predictors or to give recommendations for its management.…”

“…Unterschieden werden minimal invasive FTC mit oder ohne Angioinvasion von breit invasiven Karzinomen (widely-invasive FTC), die die Kapsel langstreckig in ltrieren. Für minimal invasive Karzinome werden tumorfreie Überlebensraten von bis zu 97 % beschrieben, bei Nachweis einer Angioinvasion beträgt das rezidivfreie Überleben 81 % und bei breit invasiven Karzinomen 46 % [8].…”
