Limited Thyroidectomy Achieves Equivalent Survival to Total Thyroidectomy for Early Localized Medullary Thyroid Cancer
For localized T1 MTC, lobectomy/subtotal thyroidectomy appears to achieve comparable long-term survival to total thyroidectomy in this population-based analysis. The selective use of limited thyroidectomy may be reasonable for low-risk T1N0/1M0 MTC patients. Delayed surgery is associated with worse survival and additional neck dissection showed no benefit for this select group of patients.
