Clinicopathological characteristics, prognosis, and the significance of FNA-CT in sporadic medullary thyroid microcarcinoma: a 10-year retrospective study
Despite its typically favorable prognosis, micro-sMTC may exhibit certain aggressive features. High tumor grade and advanced clinical stage are independent prognostic factors of poor PFS and may guide postoperative surveillance strategies. FNA-CT shows potential value in facilitating earlier diagnosis of micro-sMTC and identifying suitable candidates for hemithyroidectomy.
