Optimal cut-off age for AJCC staging system in Middle Eastern differentiated thyroid cancer
In this large cohort of Middle Eastern DTC patients, an age cut-off of 50 years was more appropriate for TNM staging to achieve better predictability for DSS. Therefore, implementation of different age cut-off for DTC in Middle Eastern patients could improve the predictive value for TNM staging system, allowing for better therapeutic and surveillance approach for these patients.
