“…Some of these controversies, especially related to the extent of thyroidectomy and the routine use of radioactive iodine treatment, are based on personal philosophy rather than evidence-based medicine [3,4]. Unfortunately, there are no randomized prospective trials in the treatment of well-differentiated thyroid cancer.…”

The understanding of the prognostic factors and risk groups is crucial in the management of well differentiated thyroid cancer. The important prognostic factors are age, grade of tumor, extrathyroidal extension, size of tumor, and distant metastases. Based on these prognostic factors, patients can be divided into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups. The treatment decisions should be based on risk group analysis. Extent of thyroidectomy and adjuvant therapy can be based on the risk group analysis. The histopathologic studies are very important to distinguish well differentiated from the tall cell, insular, and poorly differentiated thyroid cancer.

“…1 The incidence of malignancy is similar for multinodular goiter (MNG) and solitary nodules, being about 3.5%-5%, although the incidence of microcarcinoma could be as high as 20%. 2,3 The incidence of thyroid nodules is signifi cantly higher in geographical regions with iodine defi ciency.…”

“…It is generally agreed that elective dissection of the lateral neck (levels I-V) is not required; this has not been shown to increase survival in well-differentiated thyroid cancer in the absence of palpable disease at these levels [2,3]. This is true despite the fact that the incidence of micrometastases is quite high in papillary carcinomas.…”

Thyroid cancer is a relatively common clinical problem. The American Cancer Society has estimated 1,050,000 newly diagnosed cancers in 1999 in the United States, of which 16,000 are expected to be of thyroid origin. Although most thyroid cancers have an excellent prognosis as compared with other malignant tumors, it is estimated that approximately 1,225 deaths will be attributed to the disease [1].
