  For years there have been calls to downgrade small lesions in the breast, lung and prostate, among others, and to eliminate the term “cancer” from their name. [nytimes.com]

• Thyroglobulin Increased

  Lee et al. also found, in a study of 164 patients who underwent thyroid surgery for a nodule with indeterminate cytology that elevated preoperative thyroglobulin increased cancer probability significantly in multivariate analysis. [journalotohns.biomedcentral.com]

Drugs and Other Treatments for Thyroid Neoplasms Depending on the type of thyroid neoplasm the patient is diagnosed with, the specialist will recommend one of the following treatment methods: Benign neoplasm treatment » Hyperthyroidism neoplasm treatmen [marinahospital.com]

Conclusion: Our study favors the low risk nature of NIFTP with no disease recurrence in the cases studied and encourages de-escalation of treatment. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.2.1123 How to cite this: Jabeen S, Fatima S, Sheikh A, Islam N. [pjms.org.pk]

Prognosis Prognosis is generally good in most patients, but about 5% of cases are fatal. Those below age 55 years with tumor size below 4 cm have a particularly good prognosis. Those with distant metastatic disease have a poorer prognosis. [orpha.net]

The name NIFTP aptly conveys this lesion’s prognosis and histologic features. [hindawi.com]

General Encapsulated thyroid tumours with nuclear papillary-like features without invasion have a good prognosis, and labelling them as cancer is probably not unwarranted.[2] Can only be diagnosed on excisional specimens where the entire tumour capsule [librepathology.org]

Prevention Because most people with thyroid cancer have no known risk factor, it is not possible to completely prevent this disease. However, inherited cases of medullary thyroid cancer can be prevented and radiation to the neck is avoided. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Preventing thyroid cancer There are no proven measures to prevent thyroid cancer. However, if familial medullary thyroid cancer is detected in a family, the rest of the family can be tested for the mutated gene. [cancer.org.au]
