Long-Term Survival After Thyroidectomy for Thyroid Cancer: A Propensity-Matched TriNetX Study with Specialty-Stratified Analyses
In a large, propensity-matched real-world cohort, surgery was linked to improved long-term survival regarding thyroid cancer. Observed specialty-related variation should be interpreted cautiously, and prospective studies incorporating tumor-level variables and provider/center characteristics are needed. Emphasis should remain on timely surgery within multidisciplinary care pathways.
