Summary: | Background
American Thyroid Association (ATA) proposed management guidelines for differentiated thyroid cancer, including a three‐tiered risk stratification system for structural recurrence. This study aimed to compare the various 2015 ATA criteria for the strength of association with the recurrence of high‐risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
Study Design
This study included 545 consecutive patients who underwent total thyroidectomy plus neck dissection and radioactive iodine ablation (RAI) for previously untreated high‐risk PTC. The association of recurrence‐free survival (RFS) with clinicopathological factors was evaluated by univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses.
Results
During a follow‐up median period of 89 months, 90 (16.5%) patients had any‐site recurrence. Of the high‐risk factors, high stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) level and >3‐cm sized lymph nodes (LNs) were significantly associated with recurrence (all P |
