Abstract EN
Papillary carcinoma is a prominent malignancy originating from follicular cells.
This disease generally shows an indolent character, but patients demonstrating certain clinicopathological features have a dire prognosis.
At present, Western countries adopted almost routine total thyroidectomy with radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation, while limited thyroidectomy with extensive prophylactic lymph node dissection has traditionally been performed for most patients in Japan.
Recently, accurate evaluation of carcinoma stage can be performed on preoperative imaging studies, especially on ultrasonography.
It is therefore important to treat papillary carcinoma patients depending on clinicopathological features rather than in a stereotyped fashion.
In this paper, appropriate extension of thyroidectomy and lymph node dissection is discussed based on Western and recently published Japanese guidelines and the experience in Kuma Hospital.
