ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the optimal management and analyze the prognostic factors for follicular thyroid carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinicopathological data of 119 patients with well-differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma treated in our hospital from 1970 to 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. The overall survival (OS) rate was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Log rank and Cox regression analyses were used to identify the prognostic factors.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The 5- and 10-year OS rates were 81.1% and 66.7%, respectively. The 3- , 5- and 10-year cumulative distant metastasis rates were 27.4%, 29.6% and 35.9%, respectively. The age of ≥ 45 years old was one of the most important factors affecting survival rate (P < 0.05) and an independent factor for distant matastasis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Follicular thyroid carcinoma has some special features such as diffuse growth and vascular tumors thrombosis and with a relatively poor prognosis. The key measure to improve local control and prognosis is radical resection. Some aggressive management such as total thyroidectomy combined with (13)1I therapy and regular follow-up should be performed to improve the survival rate and to control postoperative distant metastasis for patients ≥ 45 years old.</p>
