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
A multigene genomic classifier (GC) test for thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology shows high sensitivity and negative predictive value.

Rates of Lobectomy vs Thyroidectomy for Low-Risk Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Adherence to the 2015 recommendation from ATA — to use lobectomy rather than complete thyroidectomy for low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer — is increasing.
Childhood Radiation-Induced Thyroid Cancer Does Not Lower All-Cause Survival
Childhood radiation-induced thyroid cancer does not affect all-cause mortality compared with healthy individuals.
Malignancy Rates Higher in Children With Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules
Malignancy was more common in children with thyroid nodules classified as indeterminate by BSRTC criteria compared with adults.
