Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for papillary thyroid cancer. Surgical interventions of papillary thyroid cancer include total thyroidectomy and lobectomy. Each of these has its indications.
Surgery
- Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for papillary thyroid cancer.[1][2][3][4]
- Surgical interventions of papillary thyroid cancer include total thyroidectomy and lobectomy. Each of these has its indications.
- Total thyroidectomy is usually reserved for patients with either:
- Known distant metastasis
- Extrethyroidal extension
- Tumor> 4 cm in diameter
- Cervical lymph node metastasis
- Poorly differentiated tumor
- In case of bilateral nodularity
- Prior radiation exposure
- Total thyroidectomy or lobectomy is indicated if all of these criteria are present:
- No prior radiation exposure
- No distant metastasis
- No cervical lymph node metatasis
- No extrathyroidal extension
- Tumor≤ 4 cm
- Lobectomy is considered curative if all of the following are present:
- Negative resection margins
- No contralateral lesion
- No suspicious lympgh nodes
- Small tumors (< 1 cm) found incidentally on the final pathology sections
- Lobectomy plus isthmusectomy is recommended for patients who refuse/cannot tolerate hormonal replacement therapy for the rest of thier lives.
- Total thyroidectomy should be performed after lobectomy plus isthmusectomy if either of these criteria is present:
- Large tumor (> 4 cm)
- Positive resection margins
- Gross extrathyroidal extension
- Macroscopic multifocal disease
- Vascular invasion
- Macroscopic nodal metastasis
