Abstract

Pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is characterized by an aggressive clinical course. Early diagnosis is a challenge and treatment consists principally of partial or total thyroidectomy±neck dissection and radioactive iodine therapy. Due to the rarity of PTC in children, there is no consensus on optimal surgical treatment. A literature search was carried out using PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane and Web of Science. Seven studies (489 patients) investigating the outcome of surgically managed pediatric PTC were identified. No clear advantage in survival or recurrence rate was found for total thyroidectomy compared to other surgical approaches. Despite the aggressive behavior of PTC, prognosis is good, with low mortality. After removal of disease and prevention of recurrence, reduction of iatrogenic complications are a priority in this age group. Due to the paucity of available evidence, this review cannot recommend conservative or radical surgery for pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma. To answer this question, we recommend the establishment of a randomized controlled trial with adequately matched baseline variables.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 April 2016.
All research outputs
#22,756,649
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology
#2,601
of 3,531 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#235,753
of 275,204 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology
#35
of 69 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,531 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 275,204 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 69 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
