Abstract:

Differentiated thyroid cancer in children and adolescents (caDTC) is different from adult DTC, and the DTC guidelines for adult are not fully applicable to children and adolescent patients. Therefore, experts from nuclear medicine, thyroid surgery, endocrinology, ultrasound, pathology and molecular biology formed the thyroid editorial committee to participate in the compilation of consensus on magagement of caDTC. Based on the principles of practicality, locality and treatment accessibility, this expert consensus is composed of the epidemiology, examinations, treatment strategies (surgery, radioactive iodine, targeted therapy and endocrinotherapy) and follow-up. It basically covers the clinical management of caDTC.

Key words: Children and adolescents, Differentiated thyroid carcinoma, Nuclear medicine, Management, Consensus
