Complete resection of solitary pulmonary metastases in thyroid cancer: a case series report
Although our data were limited to definitively conclude the efficacy of completely resecting solitary metastases, surgical resection could be recommended for a definitive diagnosis and potentially extending relapse-free survival in patients with DTC. However, given the poor and heterogeneous outcomes in non-DTC, the indication for PM should be carefully considered on a case-by-case basis. (263/350 words).
