Abstract:
In this review, we provide a framework for clinical decision-making in the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer. The clinical discussion and treatment recommendations are relevant to an adult population (> 16 years of age). The natural history, pathogenesis, diagnostic tools, and treatment controversies in the management of this disease are explored. The roles of radioiodine therapy and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression and the treatment of locoregional disease are reviewed. This discussion provides a comprehensive assessment of management and treatment issues in differentiated thyroid cancer.
