[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently it’s been reported that this type of cancer is on the rise.[/quote] There are many experts who believe that it's really that diagnostics are much better, and that true incidence is the same for PTC. Also, there is growing evidence that papillary thyroid carcinoma is overtreated, and that many people with die with their PTC tumors, not because of them. The evidence has changed a lot on *whether* treatment is necessary (and in which circumstances active surveillance is appropriate to consider) and *how* to treat PTC. It is not standard, for example, that everyone gets radioactive iodine treatment after surgery now, for example, although that used to be prescribed for everyone. Same for a full thyroidectomy vs. a lobectomy.[/quote]
