  1. Management of differentiated thyroid cancer Dr. Leung Tak Lun Canice North District Hospital

  2. Differentiated thyroid cancer • Derived from follicular cells • Papillary carcinoma • Follicular carcinoma • Mixed papillary follicular • Follicular variant of papillary carcinoma • 85% of all thyroid cancers • Udelsman et al. Lancet Oncol. 2005 Jul;6(7):529-31.

  3. Prognostic scoring system • AGES (Age, Grade, Extent, Size) • AMES (Age, Metastasis, Extent, Size) • MACIS (Metastasis, Age, Completeness of resection, Invasion and Size)

  4. Case • F/45 • Filipino • Right neck lump for 4 months • USG neck • 3cm nodule in right lobe of thyroid • Small nodules in left lobe • Bilateral LN metastasis • FNAC confirmed papillary CA

  5. Treatment modality • Surgery • Radioactive iodine ablation • Others • TSH suppression • RT, Chemotherapy

  6. Surgery • First line treatment • The extent? • Thyroid lobectomy and isthmusectomy? • Total thyroidectomy? • Lymph node dissections?

  7. Total thyroidectomy • Bilateral thyroid cancers are common • 30-80% of papillary thyroid cancer • 23% of follicular tumours Udelsman et al. Lancet Oncol. 2005 Jul;6(7):529-31.

  8. Total thyroidectomy • Bilateral thyroid cancers are common • Lobectomy alone • 5-10% recurrence rate in contralateral lobe • Higher tumour recurrence rate • Higher pulmonary metastasis Dackiw et al. Surg Clin North Am 2004; 84 817-32 • Higher 20 yrs local recurrence (14% vs 2%) • Higher 20 yrs nodal metastasis (19% vs 6%) Hay et al. Surgery 1998;124:958-64 • One third of patient with recurrence subsequently died of thyroid cancer

  9. Total thyroidectomy • Radioactive iodine • Lower dose ablation • Detect recurrence • Marraferri EL et al. J Clin Endocinol Metab 2001;86:1447-63 • Maxon HR et al. J Nucl Med 1992;33:1132-6

  10. Total thyroidectomy • Thyroglobulin measurement • Monitor for recurrent disease • Thyroid hormone withdrawal • rhTSH-stmulated

  11. Total thyroidectomy • Avoid reoperation • Higher morbidity • Permanent vocal cord paralysis 1-12% • Permanent hypoparathyroidism 0-3.5% Kim et al. Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2004 Oct;130(10):1214-6.

  12. Lymph node surgery • Papillary thyroid cancer • 30% -80% have positives node • Only 10% develop clinically significant disease • Prophylactic modified neck dissections are not recommended

  13. Lymph node surgery • Central compartment dissection has similar complication rates Montesani et al. Ann Ital Chir. 2004 May-Jun;75(3):299-303 • Reoperative central compartment dissection with increased morbidity

  14. Lymph node dissection • Functional neck dissection • Indicated when there is clinical or radiological evidence of lateral lymph node metastasis

  15. Radioactive iodine • Ablation • Aims to destroy residual normal thyroid tissue • Decreases local recurrence and distant metastasis Sawka et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 89: 3668-3676,2004 • Recommended in • All follicular CA • High risk papillary CA (MACIS 6 or more)

  16. Tx • TSH suppression • External beam RT • Controversial • Not indicated in patients with good prognostic features

  17. Follow-up • Physical examination • Serum thyroglobulin measurement • Radioactive scanning and USG neck when suspicious of recurrence

  18. Case • Total thyroidectomy with central compartment dissection and bilateral functional neck dissection

  19. Case • Post-op uneventful • No vocal cord palsy • No hypocalcaemia • D/C on day 4

  20. Summary • Total thyroidectomy is recommended in all patients
