Thyroid lobectomy (TL) is an appropriate treatment for up to 4 cm intrathyroidal differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). There is scarce data regarding TL outside first-world centers. Our aim is to report a cohort of patients with DTC treated with TL in Chile.
We included DTC patients treated with TL, followed for at least 6 months, characterized their clinicopathological features and classified their risk of recurrence and response to treatment.
Eighty-two patients followed for a median of 2.3 years (0.5-7.0). Seventy-three (89%) patients had papillary, 8 (9.8%) follicular and 1 (1.2%) high-grade DTC. The risk of recurrence was low in 56 (68.3%) and intermediate in 26 (31.7%). Eight (9.8%) patients required early completion thyroidectomy and radioiodine. At last follow-up, 52 (70.3%) had excellent, 19 (25.7%) had indeterminate, and 1 (1.4%) had structural incomplete response.
In a developing country, TL is an adequate option for appropriately selected DTC patients.
甲状腺叶切除术(TL)是治疗最大直径为 4cm 的甲状腺内分化型甲状腺癌(DTC)的合适方法。关于非发达国家中心的 TL 数据很少。我们的目的是报告在智利接受 TL 治疗的 DTC 患者的队列。
我们纳入了至少随访 6 个月、接受 TL 治疗的 DTC 患者,对其临床病理特征进行了描述,并对其复发风险和治疗反应进行了分类。
82 例患者的中位随访时间为 2.3 年(0.5-7.0)。73 例(89%)患者为乳头状,8 例(9.8%)为滤泡状,1 例(1.2%)为高级别 DTC。56 例(68.3%)患者复发风险低,26 例(31.7%)患者复发风险中。8 例(9.8%)患者需要早期完成甲状腺切除术和放射性碘治疗。末次随访时,52 例(70.3%)患者有极好的反应,19 例(25.7%)患者有不确定的反应,1 例(1.4%)患者有结构不完全反应。
在发展中国家,TL 是为适当选择的 DTC 患者提供的一种合适的选择。
