ABSTRACT

In recent decades, our understanding of thyroid cancer has improved significantly with the recognition that differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has good survival and oncological outcomes. Along with the recent rise in the detection of otherwise subclinical tumours due to improved diagnostics, there has been much debate on how aggressive one should be when performing thyroid and lymph node surgery. The use of risk stratification to categorize patients into low, intermediate and high risk has led to a more tailored approach to treating differentiated thyroid cancer. This ensures patients are not subject to preventable morbidity from overtreatment while maintaining good outcomes. We discuss the approach to primary thyroid and lymph node surgery by reviewing the current literature.

ABSTRACT

Se describe una creciente incidencia de carcinoma de tiroides en todo el mundo, pero la mayor parte de estos casos corresponde a cánceres de bajo riesgo. Se necesita comprender con precisión la patología tumoral y su comportamiento biológico, para aprovechar estos parámetros en una terapia rentable con utilización adecuada de recursos. La apreciación de la importancia y el significado de los factores pronósticos y la estratificación por grupos de riesgo es esencial para el enfoque actual del carcinoma tiroideo. Se requiere discreción para la selección del tratamiento quirúrgico y la indicación de terapias adyuvantes, así como para las estrategias de vigilancia
