Abstract:
Active surveillance (AS) for low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) has been accepted worldwide as safe and effective. Despite the growing acceptance of AS in the management of low-risk PTMCs, there are barriers to AS in real clinical settings, and it is important to understand and establish appropriate AS protocol from initial evaluation to follow-up. This article provides a review of the relevant research on AS of low-risk PTMC, discusses new developments and remaining issues in the treatment of low-risk PTMC, in order to provide reference for clinical application.
