Thyroid cancer in West Java: It’s not all papillary and pretty
Thyroid cancer, particularly papillary thyroid carcinoma, was prevalent in the study population, with significant associations between histopathology, sex, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis. These findings highlight the important of using risk-based FNA and selective surgical referral to exclude low-risk microcarcinomas. Adherence to these strategies will mitigate overdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery.
