Abstract
BACKGROUND.: METHODS.: RESULTS.: With a median follow-up of 99 months, the 10-yr OS, DSS, and RFS for all patients were 92%, 99%, and 98% respectively. Univariate analysis showed no significant difference in OS by extent of surgical resection. Multivariate analysis showed that age over 45 yr and male gender were independent predictors for poorer OS, whereas T stage and type of surgery were not. Comparison of the thyroid lobectomy group and the total thyroidectomy group showed no difference in local recurrence (0% for both) or regional recurrence (0% vs 0.8%, P = .96). CONCLUSION.
