Long-Term Outcomes for Older Patients with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Should Another Age Cutoff Beyond 45 Years Be Added?
2015
Background
Although an age cutoff of 45 years has often been adopted to stratify cancer risk in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), both cancer-specific survival (CSS) and disease-specific survival (DFS) continue to worsen beyond this cutoff. This study aimed to determine whether advanced age (i.e., >60 years) at diagnosis was an independent predictor of CSS and DFS in older (≥45 years) patients.
