Background: The primary treatment for locoregional recurrent/persistent differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is repeated lymph node dissection; however, there are limited reports on the safety and long-term efficacy of multiple operations.
Methods: Patients who underwent a cervical lymph node dissection between 1998 and 2022 were included in this study. Demographics, initial thyroid surgery, subsequent lymph node dissections, follow up information, and response to therapy were acquired.
Background: Thyroid cancer has an overall favorable prognosis, but no pre-operative biochemical marker has been shown to distinguish between low and high-risk disease or predict response to therapy.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 162 patients that underwent thyroid surgery for thyroid cancer between 2006 and 2022 in whom a pre-operative thyroglobulin level (Tg) was measured. We subdivided patients into low, intermediate and high-risk thyroid cancer and based on their response to therapy per ATA guidelines.
