Upstaging papillary lesions to carcinoma on surgical excision is not impacted by patient race.

CONCLUSIONS: Atypia remains the most significant contributor to the risk of upstaging papillary lesions to malignancy. Our research supports the practice of excising all atypical papillary lesions with selected excision of those without atypia. In our cohort, there was no association between race and risk of upstaging to malignacy. PMID: 30988233 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
