Active Surveillance of Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma: A Multi-Center Cohort Study in Korea.

Conclusions:</i></b> A significant number of PTMCs grow during active surveillance, and tumor volume change is a more sensitive means of evaluating tumor growth. Active surveillance should be carefully applied for selected patients. Although it is not contraindicated, it should be applied more cautiously for younger patients.
