Patients who initially received negative thyroid biopsy results might face higher cumulative risk of developing thyroid cancer than that projected in previous literature.
Complication Rates Low for High-Volume Pediatric Thyroid Surgery
Complication rates are low following surgery for pediatric thyroid disease at a high-volume center.
Thyroid Cancer: Individualized Follow-Up Curtails Unnecessary Tests
In patients who have had successful thyroid cancer treatment, clinicians should consider scaling back extensive follow-up testing.
Active Surveillance: Is it an Appropriate Approach for Thyroid Cancer?
In patients with thyroid cancer, active surveillance has been controversial because surgery is the standard of care.
Genetic Test Helps Differentiate Benign vs Malignant Thyroid Nodules
