Abstract
Objective
To compare the clinical features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and non-microcarcinoma papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
Methods
Clinical data of 522 patients (156 males, 366 females, age: 16-77 years) with PTC treated with 131I from January 2014 to September 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into PTMC group (46 males, 139 females, age: (38.5±6.5) years; tumor diameter≤1.0 cm) and non-microcarcinoma PTC group (110 males, 227 females, age: (40.5±4.5) years; tumor diameter>1.0 cm). General information and TNM status of patients were compared. The t′ test and χ2 test were used to analyze the data.
Results
Patients was relatively young in PTMC group (t′=2.20, P 0.05; mostly females). The incidence of extraglandular invasion in PTMC group was significantly lower than that in PTC group (33.51%(62/185) vs 56.08%(189/337); χ2=24.37, P 0.05).
Conclusions
Clinical characteristics of PTC can be influenced by tumor diameter. The features of primary tumor and lymph node metastasis between patients with moderate- and high-risk PTMC and non-microcarcinoma PTC patients are similar, which suggests that 131I therapy is necessary to patients with moderate- and high-risk PTMC.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (CJNMMI) was established in 1981, with the name of Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine, and renamed in 2012. As the specialized periodical in the domain of nuclear medicine in China, the aim of Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging is to develop nuclear medicine sciences, push forward nuclear medicine education and basic construction, foster qualified personnel training and academic exchanges, and popularize related knowledge and raising public awareness.
Topics of interest for Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging include:
-Research and commentary on nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with significant implications for disease diagnosis and treatment
-Investigative studies of heart, brain imaging and tumor positioning
-Perspectives and reviews on research topics that discuss the implications of findings from the basic science and clinical practice of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
- Nuclear medicine education and personnel training
- Topics of interest for nuclear medicine and molecular imaging include subject coverage diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease, and also radionuclide therapy, radiomics, molecular probes and related translational research.
