Clinical Features, Treatment, and Long‐Term Outcome of Papillary Thyroid Cancer in Children and Adolescents Without Radiation Exposure

Abstract

The prognosis of PTC in children and adolescents is excellent, regardless of the extent of thyroidectomy and LN dissection. We recommend that only children or adolescents with preoperative gross neck LN metastasis and distant metastasis at diagnosis should be subjected to postoperative ablative therapy.
