Overview
Follicular thyroid cancer may be classified according to the degree of invasion into 3 sub-types: minimally invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma and widely invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma.
Classification
- Follicular thyroid cancer may be classified according to the degree of invasion into:[1]
- Minimally invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma: when there is limited capsular and/or vascular invasion
- Encapsulated angioinvasive follicular thyroid cancer: when there is any evidence of vascular invasion
- Widely invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma: when there is widespread infiltration of thyroid tissue and/or vascular invasion.
