RECOMMENDATION 6
Thyroid sonography with survey of the cervical lymph nodes
should be performed in all patients with known or
suspected thyroid nodules.
2015 American Thyroid Association Management Guidelines for Adult Patients with Thyroid Nodules
and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Ultrasound should evaluate the following:
• Thyroid parenchyma (homogeneous or heterogeneous)
• Without : microcalcifications
extrathyroidal extension
taller than wide shape
• Without - microcalcifications
- irregular margin
- extrathyroidal extension,
- taller than wide shape
• Only about 15%–20% of thyroid cancers are iso- or
hyperechoic
Recommend FNA at >1.5 cm
Very low suspicion [<3%]
• Spongiform
• partially cystic nodules
• without any of the sonographic features described in the low,
intermediate, or high suspicion patterns
• a low risk of malignancy (<3%)
No biopsy
RECOMMENDATION 35
Operative approach for a biopsy diagnostic for
follicular cell derived malignancy
Operative approach for a biopsy diagnostic for
follicular cell derived malignancy
• 10-year overall survival (90.4% for total thyroidectomy vs. 90.8% for lobectomy)
• 10-year cause-specific survival (96.8% for total thyroidectomy vs. 98.6% for lobectomy)
• proper patient selection, loco-regional recurrence rates of less than 1%–4%
thyroid lobectomy
Therapeutic Prophylactic
• The role of prophylactic central
• For patient with clinically node dissection in cN0 disease is
involved central node still unclear
• Thyroidectomy without
prophylactic central node
dissection is appropriate for small
(T1 or T2) PTC, noninvasive and
most of follicular cancers.
(strong recommendation)
Lymph node dissection
Lateral compartment dissection
(level II-V, level VII, rarely level I)
Therapeutic
• Should be performed for patient with biopsy-proven
metastatic lateral cervical node
(strong recommendation)
RAI ablation
RAI ablation
• Goal of administration of RAI after
thyroidectomy
1. RAI remnant ablation (facilitate detection of
recurrence disease)
2. RAI adjuvant therapy (improve disease-free
survival)
3. RAI therapy (treat persistent disease)
RAI ablation
• RAI adjuvant therapy is routinely recommended after
total thyroidectomy in ATA high risk
(strong recommendation)
•
No gross extrathyroidal extension, no metastasis, complete
resection of tumor
•
Tumor does not have aggressive histology (tall cell, hobnail
variant, columnar cell carcinoma)
•
No vascular invasion
•
Clinical N0 or ≤ 5 pathological N1 micrometastases (< 0.2
cm)
RAI ablation
ATA low risk
• Intrathyroidal encapsulated follicular variant PTC
