Autoimmune thyroiditis in paediatric thyroid cancer: clinical features and outcomes
AIT was present in 16% of paedDTC patients and was associated with reduced distant metastasis. A tendency toward improved EFS but similar OS during the follow-up period was observed. Earlier detection through surveillance in AIT patients may contribute to these findings, warranting further investigation into underlying biological mechanisms.
