Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effects of minimal extrathyroidal extension (mETE) on the recurrence risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), analyzing data from 1,108 patients.
- The findings showed that mETE, along with age, multifocality, and tumor size, did not significantly affect treatment response, while only stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) levels were linked to poor outcomes.
- Initial sTg values were crucial for identifying patients at risk for poor treatment responses, suggesting that these patients might need additional interventions.
