TL;DR: A reliable prognostic scoring system for predicting PTC mortality rates with 15 candidate variables that included completeness of primary tumor resection but excluded histologic grade and DNA ploidy is attempted.

TL;DR: The utility and limitations of fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the evaluation and management of thyroid nodules are examined by reviewing studies reported in the literature from 1982 to 1991 and using 12 years of experience with more than 11 000 biopsies to offer a reasoned approach to the management of nodular thyroid disease.

TL;DR: The recommendations in this consensus statement, which are based on analysis of the current literature and common practice strategies, are thought to represent a reasonable approach to thyroid nodular disease.

TL;DR: More than 99% of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma patients are not at risk of distant spread or cancer mortality, and RRA after BLR did not improve postoperative outcome.

TL;DR: It is uncertain whether more extensive primary surgery and increasing use of radioiodine remnant ablation for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) have resulted in improved rates of cause-specific mortality (CSM) and tumor recurrence (TR).
