Multifocal recurrence on the transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy incision
We report the case of a patient operated by two-stage RT for stage pT3a follicular carcinoma, followed by tumour seeding along the incision despite adjuvant Iodine-131 therapy and external beam radiotherapy.DiscussionThis case illustrates the limitations and insufficient perspective of RT for thyroid cancer, with the recent discovery of a risk of tumour seeding along the incision. Rigorous patient selection should help to avoid this risk of tumour seeding.
