Management of recurrent cervical papillary thyroid cancer

Rachna M Goyal et al. Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 2014 Jun.

Abstract

Papillary thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine malignancies, and it is often associated with an excellent prognosis. However, it has been shown to recur in the lymph nodes in the neck. The management of these lymph nodes remains controversial, and current treatment strategies include observation, surgery, radioactive iodine ablation, and percutaneous ethanol injection. These various treatment modalities are discussed in this article.

Keywords: Cervical lymph nodes; Cervical re-operation; Ethanol injection; Papillary thyroid cancer; Radioactive iodine.
