13.1 Introduction
The wide spectrum of aggressiveness of thyroid cancer is extra-ordinary, ranging from differenti­ated malignancies in which most patients live out close to their normal lifespan to anaplastic variet­ies that are almost universally lethal [1].
13.1.1 Classication ofThyroid Neoplasms
13.1.1.1 World Health Organization
(WHO) Classication
A classication of thyroid tumors, as suggested by WHO is shown in Table13.1 [2].
13.1.1.2 Pathological Classication
Most thyroid tumors arise from the follicular cells, and most are well-differentiated. Poorly differentiated and undifferentiated types are rare (Table 13.2). Well-differentiated carcinomas include papillary and follicular carcinomas.
13.1.2 Incidence ofThyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer [3], and its incidence has continuously
M. Sakr (*) Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt
increased in the last three decades all over the world [4]. Based on recent data, thyroid cancer, in general, is the fth most common cancer in women [5]; in Italy, it is the second most frequent cancer in women below 45years of age [6]. The incidence of thyroid cancer in the USA more than doubled over the past 30years. Only in few coun­tries (Norway, Sweden) thyroid cancer incidence has decreased [4]. Genetic factors, environmental inuences, and access to medical care can easily explain the high variability in the thyroid cancer incidence by geographic area and ethnicity. Recent reports indicated a similar age-specic trend by racial/ethnic groups. Although the low­est rates of thyroid cancer are observed in blacks, the greatest rate of PTC acceleration occurs in black females [7].
In any case, the continuously increasing rate of thyroid cancer is nearly exclusively due to increases in the incidence of PTC, with no sig­nicant change for the follicular, medullary, or anaplastic histotypes. The increase mainly regards small tumors, although large tumors have also increased [8, 9]. In spite of the steadily increased incidence, thyroid cancer “mortality” is reported stable at approximately 0.5 cases per 100,000 persons [10].
Some experts believe that the worldwide increase of thyroid cancer is due to the increased diagnostic intensity [11]. Others believe that a “true increase,” due to environment and lifestyle changes, is also possible [8, 9, 1215].

13.1.3 Screening
There are two primary methods to screen for thy-
roid cancer such as (1) neck palpation during a
physical examination, which can identify palpa­ble nodules, and (2) ultrasound (US), which can identify both palpable and non-palpable nodules, especially those <1 cm. US can also identify characteristics of a “suspicious” nodule [16]. Screening with both palpation and US can also identify abnormal cervical LNs that may repre­sent metastatic thyroid cancer.
Screening for thyroid cancer could result in early detection of malignant thyroid nodules that are easily treatable, before the cancer spreads beyond the thyroid gland. Early detection could make treatment more effective, with potentially less harm than if administered later. Potential

harms of screening include false-positive results, which may lead to unnecessary diagnostic tests. Screening may also result in “over-diagnosis” because it can detect very small and/or indolent tumors that might never affect a person’s morbid­ity or mortality [17, 18]. Over-diagnosis might also lead to over-treatment [19].
At present, there is no screening program to detect thyroid cancer for the general population. Screening is possible for familial MTCs associ­ated with specic oncogene mutations. The genetic basis of papillary, follicular, and ana­plastic thyroid cancer has been investigated and the roles and potential prognostic value of sev­eral genes, for example, RET, TRK, ras, BRAF, and p53, have been identied. Testing for these genes is not routinely available in clinical prac­tice [20].

While screening generally is not possible, a family history for thyroid cancer should be taken in each case, and if there is a strong familial inci­dence of thyroid cancer or association with other cancers, genetic advice should be considered in appropriate cases from the regional genetics service.
13.1.4 Risk Factors ofThyroid
Carcinoma
13.1.4.1 History-Taking
It is important to focus on gender, age, duration of the swelling and, more importantly, its rate of growth, history of neck irradiation, and family history of thyroid cancer. Fowler et al. (1989) found that a family history of thyroid disease was present in 41% of their patients with thyroid nod­ules [21]. Male gender carries 2–3 times the risk of thyroid cancer as compared to women [22,
23]. At an age below 20years, the risk of malig-
nancy is doubled, whilst above 70years, the risk of malignancy is quadrupled [22, 23].
History of rapid growth in a few weeks [2426] and the presence of associated symp­toms such as difculty in swallowing or breath­ing would suggest a compressive effect or involvement of the esophagus or trachea. Hoarseness of voice strongly indicates RLN palsy and malignancy [24]. Other associated dis­eases should also be noted. These are summa­rized in Table13.3 [27].
There is a 40% absolute risk of malignancy for a thyroid nodule with previous exposure to irra­diation, particularly during childhood. Low dose carries a 100 life-time risk of malignancy, while high dose carries a 300 times increased life-time risk. The latency period is 10–15years, and can­cer mostly occurs 20–30 years after radiation exposure [24, 25].
13.1.4.2 Local Examination
The larger the tumor size, especially when >4cm, and the presence of obstructive symptoms indi­cate higher risk of malignancy [23, 26]. Firm/ hard consistency or xed swelling indicates high risk, while a soft, mobile, or cystic swelling indi­cates a low risk of malignancy [26]. “Hard” nod­ules may also result from calcications in benign adenomas, and “xation” of the thyroid can also occur with severe chronic thyroiditis [26].
The presence of cervical lymphadenopathy indicates high risk of malignancy (Table13.3). In fact, the most signicant physical ndings sug­gestive of malignancy are the unilateral, rm, non-tender, discrete lymph nodes (LNs); these may result from metastatic thyroid cancer, most commonly papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) [26].
13.1.4.3 General Examination
Thyroid malignancy also metastasizes to the lungs in 10% of individuals, sometimes occuring without LN spread, especially in patients with follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). Other sites of

spread include the spinal cord, base of the tongue, and bone, especially the skull, tibia, and costo­chondral junction. If medullary thyroid carci­noma (MTC) is suspected in conjunction with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN)-2A and MEN-2B, the characteristic features of MEN syndrome may also be evident.
13.1.4.4 Flexible Laryngoscopy
Flexible laryngoscopy is important to assess vocal cord movements. The so-called “classic” red ag physical nding is true vocal cord paraly­sis. However, this nding by itself can be of lim­ited help in assessing malignant potential as the three main causes of unilateral vocal cord paraly­sis can be broadly categorized as iatrogenic, malignant, and idiopathic. Reviews of unilateral cord paralysis quote gures for malignancy rang­ing from 7% to 25% with the vast majority due to lung cancer. If lung cancer is excluded, all other malignancies, including thyroid cancer, represent well under 10% of unilateral vocal cord paraly­sis. In contrast, idiopathic causes account for 30–40% of vocal cord paralysis cases.
13.2 Well-Dierentiated Thyroid Cancer (WDTC)
13.2.1 Introduction
Well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC) refers to both PTC and FTC, which arise from the thyroid follicular cell. Among many unique fea­tures of DTC, two require special mention. First, age is the most important prognostic factor. It is interesting to note that the mortality in patients with thyroid cancer in the younger age group is extremely low, while that in the elderly patient is quite high. There is no other human cancer that parallels this biological behavior. This is the only cancer where age is included in the staging sys­tem. There is no stage III and IV cancer in patients below the age of 45years [2830]. Second, the presence of nodal metastasis has almost no prog­nostic implication, whilst in the majority of can­cers the presence of nodal metastasis decreases the survival by almost 50% [31].
The mortality of DTC remains low; most deaths are directly related to the high-risk group, generally elderly patients with poorly differenti­ated histology or locally aggressive tumors. There is considerable debate and controversy about the management of the disease [32]. There are vigorous proponents of routine total thyroid­ectomy (TT), whereas other authors recommend less than TT, depending on the prognostic factors and risk groups [33].
13.2.2 Staging
The TNM staging of WDTC is summarized in Table 13.4. Staging according to age with 45years as the cut point is listed in Table13.5. The 10-year cancer-specic mortality rate is shown in Table13.6.

PTC >1cm or with high-risk FTC should undergo near-TT or TT, while those with PTC 1cm or low-risk FTC may be treated with thyroid lobec­tomy (hemi-thyroidectomy) alone. Serum thyro­globulin (Tg) should be checked in all postoperative patients with DTC, but not sooner than 6weeks after surgery. Patients will normally start on L-T4 100 μg daily after the operation. This should be stopped 2weeks before
131

tion or therapy.
Most patients with a tumor >1cm, who have
undergone a near-TT/TT, should have
131
I abla­tion. Pregnancy and breast-feeding should always be excluded before administering
131
I. Breast­feeding should be stopped 4weeks and prefera­bly 8weeks before
131
I ablation or treatment and should not be resumed. A post-ablation scan (3–10 days after

I ablation) should be
performed.

after

should be given and a posttreatment scan (3–10 days after

13.2.3.2 Radioactive Iodine (RAI) Ablation andTreatment ofWDTC
Following a TT or near-TT, some RAI uptake is usually demonstrable in the thyroid bed.
131
I-induced destruction of this residual thyroid tissue is known as “radioiodine remnant abla­tion.” “Radioiodine therapy” refers to administra-
131
tion of
I with the intention to treat recurrent or metastatic disease. The principles and procedures are similar for the administration of
131
I for abla-
tion or treatment.
Preparation for
131
I Ablation or Therapy
Patients should adopt a low I2 diet for 2weeks prior to
131
I and other sources of excess I2 should be eliminated (e.g., recent CT with contrast) [34]. If
131
I can be administered within 3–4 weeks of thyroidectomy, no thyroid hor­mone replacement is required in the interim period. This would usually allow TSH to rise to >30 mIU/L at the time of ablation. For most centers, however, the interval between thyroid­ectomy and
131
I ablation will be longer. In such cases, patients should start T3 (20mg tds) after surgery; this should be stopped 2weeks before planned ablation to allow serum TSH to increase to >30 mIU/L.
If there is doubt about completeness of sur­gery, a pre-ablation scan can be performed to assess remnant size [35]. Demonstration of large thyroid remnants should lead to consideration of further surgery before

131
I abla­tion. Breast-feeding must be discontinued 4weeks, preferably 8 weeks before
131
I ablation or treatment and should not be resumed. Pretreatment sperm banking should be consid­ered in male patients likely to have >2 high-dose
131
I therapies [36]. Adequate hydration at the time of treatment and for several days afterwards, reg­ular emptying of the urinary bladder, and avoid­ance of constipation helps to prevent a reduction in sperm count.
