Clinical Heterogeneity of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer between Children Less than 10 Years of Age and Those Older than 10 Years: A Retrospective Study of 70 Cases
Conclusion: Regional invasiveness, cervical lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis of DTC were more likely to occur in children ≤10 years old. Meanwhile, children ≤10 years old with DTC were more likely to have recurrence than adolescent’s postsurgical treatment. Thus, children younger than 10 years of age with DTC should be treated more aggressively.Eur Thyroid J
