Purpose: The benefit of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in locally advanced, well- differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) is uncertain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate locoregional recurrence (LRR), progression-free survival, and cause-specific survival (CSS) of patients with pT4 well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
Methods And Materials: A population-based retrospective review was conducted of consecutive patients with pT4 WDTC (per the American Joint Committee on Cancer, 8th edition, criteria) treated provincially between 1985 and 2013.
