2015 American Thyroid Association Management Guidelines for Adult Patients with Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: The American Thyroid Association Guidelines Task Force on Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.

TLDR
Evidence-based recommendations are developed to inform clinical decision-making in the management of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer and represent, in the authors' opinion, contemporary optimal care for patients with these disorders.
Abstract
Background: Thyroid nodules are a common clinical problem, and differentiated thyroid cancer is becoming increasingly prevalent. Since the American Thyroid Association's (ATA's) guidelines for the management of these disorders were revised in 2009, significant scientific advances have occurred in the field. The aim of these guidelines is to inform clinicians, patients, researchers, and health policy makers on published evidence relating to the diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods: The specific clinical questions addressed in these guidelines were based on prior versions of the guidelines, stakeholder input, and input of task force members. Task force panel members were educated on knowledge synthesis methods, including electronic database searching, review and selection of relevant citations, and critical appraisal of selected studies. Published English language articles on adults were eligible for inclusion. The American College of Physicians Guideline Gr...

Evaluation and treatment of aerodigestive tract invasion by well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

TL;DR: Direct intraluminal invasion of thyroid carcinoma requires definitive resection of aerodigestive tract lumen to remove all gross disease, however, when the lumen is not involved, "shaving" tumor from airway or esophagus is an acceptable treatment with a similar locoregional control rate and minimal morbidity when compared to definitive aerodigm tract resection.

Serial TSH determination after T3 withdrawal or thyroidectomy in the therapy of thyroid carcinoma.

TL;DR: Exogenous triiodothyronine was substituted for levothyroxin or desiccated thyroid in 13 athyrotic patients previously treated for papillary, follicular, or mixed papillary-follicular carcinoma of the thyroid, and TSH values showed a much slower and more variable rise.
