strategy for low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), due to the typically favorable …

Background: It has been 30 years since the initiation of active surveillance (AS) for adult
patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). This study compared the …

Recently, the incidence of thyroid carcinoma has been increasing rapidly worldwide. This is
interpreted as an increase in the incidental detection of small papillary thyroid carcinomas …

Background: The change in size of the papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) nodule during active
surveillance has traditionally been characterized as either stable, increasing, or decreasing …

Background Active surveillance (AS) of low‐risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC)
was initiated at Kuma Hospital in 1993 and is gradually spreading worldwide. We assessed …

Background: Active surveillance (AS) is an alternative to thyroidectomy for the management
of low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). However, prospective AS data …
