Precision Thyroidectomy in Sporadic Medullary Thyroid Cancer
The last decade has seen an interest in de-escalating management approaches in differentiated and medullary thyroid cancer, initially with a move toward less aggressive use of elective neck dissection for patients with medullary thyroid cancer without clinical, biochemical, or radiographic evidence of disease outside the thyroid gland at presentation, and now with a consideration of the potential advantages of thyroid lobectomy in patients with sporadic medullary thyroid cancer documented by preoperative germline genetic testing. In this issue of JAMA Otolaryngology –Head& Neck Surgery, Mao et al have published an in...
