The BRAFV600E Mutation Enhances Age-Based Prognostic Stratification in Radioiodine-Treated Papillary Thyroid Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Aims
To evaluate whether BRAFV600E mutation status enhances the value of age in predicting clinical outcomes for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients receiving radioactive iodide (RAI) therapy.
Materials and methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1160 PTC patients treated with RAI therapy. Patients were stratified by age (≤18, 18-55, and ≥55 years) and BRAFV600E status. Clinicopathological characteristics, treatment responses, and risk factors for poor outcomes (biochemical/structural incomplete response biochemical incomplete response/structural incomplete response [BIR/SIR]) were analysed using logistic regression.
Results
BRAFV600E-positive patients aged ≤18 years showed aggressive features, including larger tumour size, higher lymph node metastasis rates, elevated thyroglobulin levels (TgAb-negative), and worse 6-month/3-year outcomes (all P < .05). Multivariate analysis confirmed high-risk subtypes, distant metastasis, and elevated Tg levels as independent BIR/SIR predictors. BRAFV600E-negative patients showed no significant age-related clinical characteristics and outcomes (P > .05).
Conclusion
BRAFV600E mutation status significantly modifies the impact of age in PTC patients with RAI therapy. Patients aged ≤18 years with BRAFV600E-positive exhibit distinct aggressive behaviours and poorer RAI therapy responses. These findings support integrating BRAFV600E testing with age stratification to refine risk assessment and therapeutic strategies.
