- Pediatric thyroid cancers are rare, making up only 0.7% of tumors, with higher occurrences in women and adolescents; various risk factors include genetic syndromes and exposure to radiation.
- The study analyzed data from 255 pediatric thyroid cancer cases over 20 years, revealing that secondary tumors were rare (5.1%) but showed higher rates of relapse and surgical complications.
- Overall survival rates were very high (99% at 1 year, 97% at 10 years), with no significant differences in event-free survival between primary and secondary tumors.
