Abstract:
As the elderly population continues to rise, the issue of disease diagnosis and treatment in the elderly population is becoming a hot topic of concern. Differentiated thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy in the world, and patients with differentiated thyroid cancer in the elderly have a worse clinical prognosis and higher risk of recurrence and metastasis. Moreover, due to the special characteristics and complexity of the elderly population, patients with differentiated thyroid cancer in the advanced age group have special features in terms of morbidity, preoperative diagnosis, treatment options, and postoperative management compared with other populations. This article reviews the current status of diagnosis and treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer in the elderly, taking into account the findings and opinions of domestic and international studies.
