Abstract

Radioactive iodine ablation after total thyroidectomy in low- and intermediate-risk patients with PTMC did not prevent recurrent tumours. Future randomized, controlled, multicenter prospective trials involving a larger sample of patients followed-up for a longer duration are warranted to confirm our findings.
