Trends in Pediatric Thyroid Cancer Incidence, Treatment, and Clinical Course in Korea during 2004-2016: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.

CONCLUSIONS: The pediatric thyroid cancer incidence increased from 2004 to 2012 in South Korea. The lobectomy and lymph-node-dissection rates increased, but the RAIT rate decreased. The higher risk for new treatment events in patients younger than 15 years requiring initial RAIT may be linked to advanced stage at diagnosis, and it needs to be further evaluated.
