Prognostic factors for survival and recurrence in papillary thyroid carcinoma: a retrospective study
Patients with PTC in this Saudi cohort demonstrated excellent long-term outcomes, characterized by high survival rates and low recurrence rates. Older age and male sex were associated with more aggressive disease features, yet with appropriate management, outcomes remained favorable. These findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive risk assessment and reinforce the effectiveness of current treatment strategies, providing region-specific evidence to inform clinical guidelines and optimize long-term patient care.
