We have developed evidence-based recommendations to inform clinical decision-making in the management of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer. They represent, in our opinion, contemporary optimal care for patients with these disorders.
1. Introduction. Radioactive iodine I-131 (RAI) is a cornerstone in the routine adjuvant management in patients with high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) []; however, 5% to 15% of DTC and 50% of metastatic DTCs are refractory to RAI treatment [2,3,4].Patients with RAI-refractory (RAI-R) thyroid cancer have poor outcomes, with 5-year disease-specific …
Well differentiated thyroid cancers can be further categorized as papillary thyroid cancer (the most common) and follicular thyroid cancer. Well differentiated thyroid cancers have an excellent prognosis, and are cured in …
The developmental trajectory indicated that anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) cells were derived from a small subset of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) cells. Moreover, a potential functional role of CREB3L1 on ATC development was revealed by integrated analyses of copy number alteration and transcriptional regulatory network.
Familial differentiated thyroid carcinoma probably constitutes less than 5% of all thyroid cancer cases. An association between papillary thyroid carcinoma and colorectal disease (familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) including its subtype Gardner's syndrome) and breast disease (Cowden disease – multiple hamartoma syndrome) has been described ...
Pediatric Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Thyroid cancer is less common in children and adolescents when compared to adults, with an annual incidence of approximately 4-5 in 100,000 cases. Within pediatrics, thyroid cancer is most commonly diagnosed in teenage , for whom it is estimated to be the 2nd most commonly diagnosed cancer. ...
Differentiated Thyroid Cancer. About 85 % of all thyroid cancers are PTCs, while FTC and Hurtle cell cancers together make up to 5 % of all thyroid cancers [].Histologically, PTC has several variants, such as classical, tall-cell, follicular, cribriform-morular variants, among others.
Thyroid cancer is relatively uncommon compared to other cancers. In the United States, it is estimated that in 2021 approximately 44,000 people will receive a new diagnosis of …
Differentiated high grade thyroid cancer . Differentiated high grade thyroid cancer cells still look similar to normal thyroid cells. But they have other high grade features. They are often diagnosed at a later stage than other types of thyroid cancer. Some treatments might not work as well and you might need more intense treatment.
Several types of treatment might be used for thyroid cancer, depending on its type and stage. ... (ATA) Guidelines Taskforce on Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer. Revised American Thyroid Association management guidelines for patients with thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer. Thyroid. 2016; 26:1-133.
Regional: The cancer has spread outside of the thyroid to nearby structures. Distant: The cancer has spread to distant parts of the body, such as the bones. 5-year relative survival rates for thyroid cancer. These numbers are based on people diagnosed with thyroid cancer between 2012 and 2018. Papillary thyroid cancer
Papillary thyroid cancer is the most prevalent type of thyroid cancer--with over 50,000 new cases per year in the United States. Around 80-90% of thyroid cancer cases are papillary cancer. Papillary cancer can spread to the lymph nodes …
The cause of anaplastic thyroid cancer is unknown, however, in some cases it arises in the setting of differentiated thyroid cancers such as papillary or follicular thyroid cancers. While overall survival statistics are discouraging – with an average survival rate of 6 months and approximately 1 in 5 alive after 12 months – it is important ...
Introduction. As in any patient with cancer, the aims of initial treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) are to prolong life expectancy with a good quality of …
Differentiated cancers include papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma, and undifferentiated types include medullary thyroid cancer and anaplastic cancer. Papillary thyroid cancer accounts for most varieties. Follicular thyroid cancer is the second most prevalent type, accounting for 10 to 15% of all thyroid cancer.[3]
Well-differentiated tumors (papillary thyroid cancer and follicular thyroid cancer) can be treated and can usually be cured.Poorly differentiated and undifferentiated tumors (anaplastic thyroid cancer) are less common.These tumors grow and spread quickly and have a poorer chance of recovery.
Thyroid cancer is categorised into three broad histological categories: (1) differentiated thyroid cancer, which includes papillary, follicular, and oncocytic thyroid carcinoma; (2) medullary thyroid cancer, which is sometimes associated with the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndromes; and (3) anaplastic thyroid cancer, which often arises …
The incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is rising, mainly because of an increased detection of asymptomatic thyroid nodularity revealed by the liberal use of thyroid ultrasound. This review aims to reflect on the health economic considerations associated with the increasing diagnosis and treatment of DTC. Overdiagnosis and the ...
Different kinds of thyroid cancer. There are 4 main types of thyroid cancer. They are listed below. Your doctor can tell you more about the kind you have. Papillary thyroid cancer is the most common kind of thyroid cancer. It may also be called differentiated thyroid cancer.
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy with almost one million people living with thyroid cancer in the United States. Although early-stage well-differentiated thyroid cancers account for the majority of thyroid cancers on diagnosis and have excellent survival rates, the incidence of advanced-stage disease has increased over the past …
Abstract. Differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC) have an excellent prognosis, but this is sometimes overshadowed by tumor recurrences following initial treatment (approximately 15% of cases during follow-up), due to unrecognized disease extent at initial diagnosis or a more aggressive tumor biology, which are the usual risk factors.
The "2015 American Thyroid Association Management Guidelines for Adult Patients with Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer" are coauthored by the ATA Guidelines Taskforce on Thyroid Nodules and DTC, led by Chair Bryan Haugen, MD, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora. Significant scientific advances in this field ...
The three main types of thyroid cancer are differentiated, medullary, and anaplastic, as follows: Differentiated: Includes papillary, follicular, and Hürthle cell thyroid cancer; Slow-growing and highly curable. Includes 80% of thyroid cancers (follicular, papillary, and Hürthle cell).
Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is a rare malignant disease, although its incidence has increased over the last few decades. It derives from follicular thyroid cells. Generally speaking, the prognosis is excellent. If treatment according to the current guidelines is given, cases of recurrence or persistence are rare. DTC requires special ...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is an epithelial malignancy showing evidence of follicular cell differentiation and distinctive nuclear features. It is the most frequent thyroid neoplasm and carries the best overall prognosis. The tumor usually appears as an irregular solid mass but may have cystic features in rare cases. One key feature of PTC is its ability to invade …
