Abstract EN
There are some important prognostic factors for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC).
In this paper, clinicopathological features significantly affecting patient prognosis are described based on our data as well as others.
Distant metastasis at diagnosis is the most important prognostic factor for both PTC and FTC.
Other than that, preoperative and intraoperative findings are important to evaluate the biological behavior of PTC.
Extrathyroid extension, large lymph-node metastasis, and extranodal tumor extension that can be evaluated preoperatively or intraoperatively are significant prognostic factors for PTC patients.
In contrast, pathological findings are important not only for diagnosis of FTC, but also for the evaluation of its biological character.
Grade of invasiveness (minimally or widely invasive) and degree of differentiation (well differentiated or including a poorly differentiated component) greatly affect the prognosis of FTC patients.
