Shifting paradigms in the management of pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer from static to dynamic risk stratification: a step forward toward precision medicine.

CONCLUSION: The data documented the significance of re-stratifying pediatric patients with DTC on the basis of the findings obtained at the time of or after their initial therapy (total thyroidectomy and radioiodine ablation), predominantly in the intermediate/high-risk patients. In addition, DRS helped to better modulate the later follow-up, excluding a large number of intermediate/high risk patients from needless intensive workups, allowing personalization of follow-up management.
