Objective To determine whether the currently recommended therapy for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) that show no classical factors indicating a poor prognosis is also effective in cases with a family history of this tumor. Subjects and methods: Forty-two patients were studied; 10 were submitted to lobectomy and 32 to total thyroidectomy, including 23 without lymph node dissection and 9 with lymph node dissection. None of the patients received radioiodine or was maintained under TSH suppression. Results No case of recurrence was detected by imaging methods and there was no increase in thyroglobulin or antithyroglobulin antibodies during follow-up (24 to 72 months). Conclusion The treatment usually recommended for patients with PTC does not need to be modified in the presence of a family history of this tumor if no factors indicating a poor prognosis are present (tumor ≤2 cm, non-aggressive histology, no extensive extrathyroid invasion or important lymph node involvement, complete tumor resection, no evidence of persistent disease after surgery).

PurposeWe aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to that of surgical resection (SR) in patients with T1bN0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in different age groups.MethodsTotally, 204 patients with an isolated, solitary, intrathyroidal T1bN0M0 PTC, who underwent either RFA (n=94) or SR (n=110) between April 2014 and December 2019, were retrospectively enrolled and were divided into two subgroups according to age (<45 years, ≧45 years). Patients with pathologically aggressive or advanced lesions were excluded from the study. Tumor progression and procedural complications were the primary and secondary endpoints, respectively. Tumor recurrence in situ, newly discovered tumors, lymph node involvement, or distant metastases indicated tumor progression. Complications included pain, fever, voice change, choking, numbness in the limbs, and cardiac events. Incidence rates of all endpoint events were compared between different age subgroups.ResultsThere were no significant differences in age, sex, and tumor size between the treatment groups. While the RFA group incurred less cost and experienced significantly shorter operative duration than the SR group, no significant differences were observed in incidences of both tumor progression and complications. Further, subgroup analysis of patients <45 years versus those ≧45 years showed no significant differences in the incidence of tumor progression and complications within or between different treatment groups. Older patients in the SR group incurred higher hospital costs than younger counterparts, but this difference was not observed in the RFA group.ConclusionsOur results indicated that RFA had a similar prognosis as that of SR but was associated with lower overall cost in both young (<45 years) and middle-aged patients (≧45 years) with T1bN0M0 PTC. Therefore, RFA may be an effective and safe alternative to surgery for the treatment of patients with T1bN0M0 PTC.
