Excerpt

I have read with great interest the recent systematic review by Gartland and Lubitz. Their results and conclusion suggest that lobectomy and total thyroidectomy yield comparable oncologic outcomes for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) measuring 1–4 cm.1 Although the authors themselves recognize this limitation, I highlight the confounding role that noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) can play in the results. …
