Independent thinking in the diagnosis and treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

The current revisions of various guidelines and criterions have pointed out the way for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid carcinoma, and also made us more thoughtful about this. The diagnosis and treatment of thyroid carcinoma has changed from the previous one-size-fits-all model to the risk classification, and the pathological types has changed from the microscopic evidence to the genetic evidence. On the premise of improving the quality of patient’s life, we can provide the most appropriate treatment for patients through fully understanding the natural history and biological characteristics of thyroid carcinoma, reducing overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
