Thyroid lobectomy alone may be sufficient initial treatment for low risk papillary and follicular carcinomas; however, the treatment team may choose total thyroidectomy to enable RAI therapy or to enhance follow-up based upon disease features and/or patient preferences.

Feinstein AR NEJM 1985 Will Rogers Current node paradigm Lymph node status is important in DTC Reveals biology of disease Size and number of nodes important Prognosis Recurrence Survival Can we alter the course of disease with riskbased therapy? No controversy regarding the value of therapeutic central neck node dissection Key Points Prophylactic central neck node dissection may be useful in light of some patient characteristics (higher risk) or impact on treatment decisions 5

7 Proposed Guidelines ATA Rec 36 Variation in Utilization of RAI for Thyroid Cancer 100 A) Therapeutic central-compartment (level VI) neck dissection for patients with clinically involved central nodes should accompany total thyroidectomy to provide clearance of disease from the central neck. B) Prophylactic central-compartment neck dissection (ipsilateral or bilateral) should be considered in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma with clinically uninvolved central neck lymph nodes (cn0) who have advanced primary tumors (T3 or T4), clinically involved lateral neck nodes (cn1b), or if the information will be used to plan further steps in therapy. Estimated Probability (%) of Receiving RAI for Low Risk PTC C) Thyroidectomy without prophylactic central neck dissection may be appropriate for small (T1 or T2), noninvasive, clinically nodenegative PTC (cn0) and for most follicular cancer.
