Tumor Volume Doubling Time in Active Surveillance of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

Conclusions</i></b> TVDT is a good indicator for presenting the growing velocity of PTCs during active surveillance. Younger age and macrocalcification in the initial US were associated with rapid-growing PTCs. Determination of TVDT during the early phase of active surveillance may be helpful for the prediction of rapidly progressing PTCs and making the decision of early surgical approach.
