NCT02938702

Brief Summary

The study is a multi-center prospective cohort study of active surveillance in papillary thyroid cancer with low risk. The purpose of the study is to observe natural course of low risk papillary thyroid cancer in Korean population, and comparison of prognosis between active surveillance group and conventional surgery group. Patient will be well informed about their choice of active surveillance or surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of Progression of Thyroid Papillary Microcarcinoma

    rate of progression: tumor size increase of ≥3 mm in at least one dimension, tumor size increase of ≥2 mm in at least two dimensions, suspected organ involvement during the follow-up, such as trachea, esophagus, nerves, vessels, or muscles in imaging study including high-resolution ultrasonography, or pathological diagnosis of lymph node/distant metastasis

    5 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison of Progression Rate between Active Surveillance and Surgery Group

    5 years

Study Arms (2)

Active surveillance

Group with active surveillance of their PTC

Surgery

Group who underwent surgery after diagnosis of PTC
