Locally advanced thyroid cancer requires thorough preoperative evaluation and aggressive surgical management. Despite limited treatment advancements, prompt identification and multimodal therapy offer the best outcomes for this challenging condition.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Locally invasive thyroid cancer presents a significant challenge with high morbidity and mortality.
  • Current management involves surgery, radioactive iodine, and external beam radiation therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current literature on locally advanced thyroid cancer.
  • To outline preoperative evaluation, surgical strategies, and postoperative treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on locally advanced thyroid cancer.
  • Analysis of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Main Results:

  • Complete gross tumor removal during surgery is critical for effective management.

  • Surgical treatment remains the primary approach for locally advanced thyroid cancer.
  • High rates of locoregional and distant failure are observed in affected patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Treatment for locally advanced thyroid cancer has seen limited progress.
    • Optimal outcomes depend on accurate patient identification, comprehensive evaluation, aggressive surgical resection, and adjuvant therapy.
    • Understanding histopathological variations and developing molecular markers are crucial for predicting tumor behavior.
