Comparison of Outcomes Following Thyroid Isthmusectomy, Unilateral Thyroid Lobectomy, and Total Thyroidectomy in Patients with Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma of the Thyroid Isthmus: A Retrospective Study at a Single Center.

Abstract:

:BACKGROUND Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) measures less than 10 mm in diameter, is more common in the thyroid lobes, but rarely presents in the thyroid isthmus. This retrospective study aimed to compare patient outcomes following various types of surgery in patients with PTMC of the thyroid isthmus, at a single center in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed the clinical data of patients with isthmus thyroid cancer treated at the First Hospital of China Medical University. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the tumor diameter-PTMC of the thyroid isthmus and papillary thyroid carcinoma >10 mm. The clinicopathological features between the 2 groups were compared, and the effects of various surgical methods on the prognosis of patients were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 70 patients were included in this study: 29 with PTMC of the thyroid isthmus (41.4%) and 41 with papillary thyroid carcinoma >10 mm (58.6%). The rates of lymph node metastasis (10.3% vs. 34.1%) and extrathyroid extension (0% vs. 14.6%) in the PTMC of the thyroid isthmus were significantly lower than those in the papillary thyroid carcinoma >10 mm. The recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was 97.1%. Survival analysis showed that there was no significant difference in RFS among patients with PTMC of the thyroid isthmus undergoing isthmusectomy, unilateral lobectomy, and total thyroidectomy. CONCLUSIONS These findings from a single center showed that for patients with PTMC of the thyroid isthmus, who had no comorbidities, there was no significant difference in outcome between the 3 types of thyroid surgery.
