    Summary

    Pediatric thyroid carcinoma often presents with lymph node metastasis. Surgical removal, radioactive iodine, and hormone therapy offer a high survival rate for children with this cancer.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Thyroid carcinoma in children frequently involves regional lymph node metastases.
    • A cold nodule on scintigraphy is characteristic of infantile thyroid cancer.
    • Papillary carcinoma is the most common type, associated with a favorable prognosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes for pediatric thyroid carcinoma.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical and medical management strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 25 pediatric patients with thyroid carcinoma.
    • Review of surgical procedures including thyroid lobectomy, subtotal resection, and neck dissection.
    • Assessment of postoperative scintigraphy, radioactive iodine (131-iodine) treatment, and TSH-suppressive hormone therapy.

    Main Results:

    • Papillary carcinoma was the predominant histologic type (80%).
    • Over 50% of cases presented with regional lymph node metastases.
    • The study achieved a survival rate exceeding 90% in the 25 pediatric patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Early detection and comprehensive treatment, including surgery and radioactive iodine therapy, are crucial for favorable outcomes in pediatric thyroid carcinoma.
    • Aggressive surgical management combined with adjuvant therapies leads to high survival rates.
