Cutoff Age Between Pediatric and Adult Thyroid Differentiated Cancer: Is 18 Years Old Appropriate?

Kiminori Sugino et al.

Summary: The study found that clinical outcomes of pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) were not significantly related to age, but more factors influencing DFS and DMFS were present in younger age groups. Based on the results, <15 years may be a more suitable cutoff age for pediatric DTC.

Summary: This multicenter study demonstrates excellent survival in pediatric thyroid malignancies. Secondary tumors exhibit higher rates of disease relapse and surgical complications.

Lung Metastasis in Children with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: Factors Associated with Diagnosis and Outcomes of Therapy

Alexander D. Chesover et al.

Summary: The study found that lung metastasis from differentiated thyroid cancer in children and young adults is relatively high, with characteristics including younger age, presence of LN disease, and elevated postoperative Tg. Preoperative Tg shows promise as another predictive marker, but limited sample size precludes generalization.

Total Thyroidectomy vs Thyroid Lobectomy for Localized Papillary Thyroid Cancer in Children: A Propensity-Matched Survival Analysis

Kelvin Memeh et al.

Summary: This study suggests that the extent of thyroidectomy does not influence survival for pediatric patients with early-stage PTC, and that TL might be adequate in this patient population.

Diverse Oncogenic Fusions and Distinct Gene Expression Patterns Define the Genomic Landscape of Pediatric Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Ana Stosic et al.

Summary: Pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma (PPTC) is genetically distinct from adult-onset disease, with 98% of PPTCs having genomic drivers, mainly oncogenic fusion transcripts. In advanced disease, driver variants can guide targeted systemic therapy. This study emphasizes important differences in the genomes and transcriptomes of pediatric and adult PTC, with implications for understanding and treating advanced disease in children.

Thyroid Lobectomy for T1 Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in Pediatric Patients

Chad K. Sudoko et al.

Summary: Retrospective cohort study found that in some pediatric patients with unifocal T1a PTC without clinically evident nodal disease, thyroid lobectomy and central neck dissection may be considered. Close observation may be an option if there is no evidence of unilateral multifocality or fewer than 4 positive lymph nodes on postoperative pathology.

Clinical Heterogeneity of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer between Children Less than 10 Years of Age and Those Older than 10 Years: A Retrospective Study of 70 Cases

Yuwei Liu et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the clinical heterogeneity of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) between prepubertal children and adolescents, and found that patients under the age of 10 are more likely to have lymph node and distant metastasis, as well as a higher recurrence rate. It is recommended to treat children under 10 years of age with DTC more aggressively.

NTRK and RET fusion-directed therapy in pediatric thyroid cancer yields a tumor response and radioiodine uptake

Young Ah Lee et al.

Summary: This study investigated the molecular characteristics of pediatric papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and identified different genetic drivers, including fusion oncogenes and point mutations. For patients with fusion oncogene PTC, fusion-directed therapy may lead to dramatic tumor responses.
