👉Treatment for thyroid cancer used to be a one size fits all
👉New guidelines have allowed physicians to take a more evidence based / personalized approach and include the patient in the decision-making process
👉That’s the way I like to approach this disease process in my patients
👉Classically, thyroid cancer was treated by removing the entire thyroid gland
👉This has significantly changed from that management option to a very evidenced based / individualized management that not only depends on the type of thyroid cancer but also depends on the size of the thyroid cancer and if it has any other aggressive features
👉One option for treating minimally invasive papillary thyroid cancer is active surveillance in very selected cases
👉Another option is surgery, either a thyroid lobectomy va total thyroidectomy
They also said to make sure you get information about all eventual outcomes.
👉70% to 80% of nodules are benign
👉Also the survival rate of most thyroid cancers is in excess of 90%
