Background and Aim: American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines do not consider age at diagnosis of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) as a prognostic factor in the estimation of risk of recurrence and persistent disease. While age at diagnosis has already been assessed in high-risk patients, it remains to be established whether there is a correlation between age at diagnosis and long term outcome in DTC patients.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated ...

Introduction and Objective: The initial assessment of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients is based on the American Thyroid Association (ATA) risk stratification criteria. Dynamic risk stratification (DRS) of DTC patients takes into consideration the response to initial treatment being reassessed at 1–2 years and revealed significant shifts in the risk categories of DTC patients. We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients...
