Clinical features, treatment, and long-term outcome of papillary thyroid cancer in children and adolescents without radiation exposure.
2012
Background
Cancer of the thyroid gland is rare in children and adolescents. A history of neck irradiation is a well-established risk factor for tumor development, and most previous reports focused on cases that were induced by radiation exposure. We present here a retrospective review of the clinical features, treatment, and long-term outcome of children and adolescents with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) without a history of radiation exposure who were treated at our institution over a period of ~50 years.
