Thyroid microcarcinoma(TMC) refers to the diameter less than 1cm in thyroid cancer. In recent years, with high frequency ultrasound and pathology diagnosis technology development and improvement, the incidence of TMC increased dramatically. However, there are a lot of controversy about its complication, treatment methods and value of treatment both in domestic and abroad.

Agreement on the view: routine central lymph node dissection should be done regularly in the treatment thyroid microcarcinoma.
