Medical Oncology, 06/12/09
Lin JD - In a study to illustrate change in trends and influence of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) in thyroid cancer, it was found that invasive tumor markers or larger tumor size are useful to predict tumor recurrence or distant metastasis for PTMC.
Methods- This study retrospectively reviewed 30 yrs data compared it with recent publications to illustrate change in trends and influence of PTMC.
- Incidental PTMC is usually diagnosed as a postoperative microcarcinoma following thyroidectomy for presumably benign thyroid lesions.
- Subtotal thyroidectomy or lobectomy without radioactive iodide treatment is sufficient to treat incidental PTMC.
- Aggressive surgical treatment with 131I therapy is indicated for non-incidental PTMC.
- Those with PTMC in the absence of extra-thyroid invasion diagnosed by postoperative permanent section received follow-up if they had initially received subtotal thyroidectomy.
- In long-term follow-up studies, cancer-specific mortality for PTMC ranged from 0% to 4%.
- Most of the mortality cases had distant metastasis at the time of surgery.
- The clinical course and therapeutic strategies for the non-incidental PTMC pts depend on the TNM stage at the time of diagnosis.
- One-third of PTMC with clinically aggressive behavior cannot be treated as indolent disease.
