Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors that predict papillary
thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC)-related death in a large patient population to determine …

Background The clinical importance of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) remains
controversial, with current guidelines suggesting that thyroid lobectomy alone is sufficient …

Objective Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) accounts for most of the increase in
thyroid cancer in recent decades. We compared clinical outcomes and surgical …

Context: Most papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs;≤ 1 cm diameter) are indolent low-
risk tumors, but some cases behave more aggressively. Controversies have thus arisen over …

Background Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is defined as a papillary thyroid
carcinoma less than or equal to 1.0 cm in size. Independent prognostic factors for clinical …

AIM: To investigate an “optimal” therapeutic management of patients with papillary thyroid
microcarcinoma (PTMC). METHODS: We evaluated a group of 403 consecutive patients …

Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) represents 70%–75% of well‐differentiated
thyroid cancers. Although most reports have shown that papillary thyroid microcarcinomas …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Evaluate the impact of medical and surgical interventions on
the survival of patients with papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) of the thyroid, a common tumor …

Background: The clinical significance of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) tumors≤
1 cm is widely debated. The objective of this study was to compare conventional papillary …

Context: Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is an indolent neoplasia, often
asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. Some PTMCs, however, exhibit a more …
