Multifocality and bilaterality in medullary thyroid cancer: basis for a proof-of-concept safety of lobectomy
Our study demonstrated that the rarity of multifocality and, in particular, of bilaterality, in sMTC represents the proof of concept for considering a more conservative surgical approach in selected sMTC cases. This approach cannot be considered in hMTC due to the high prevalence of multifocal and bilateral cases.
