There is something in common between pediatric thyroid cancer and adult thyroid cancer. However
pediatric thyroid cancers have some specificities including clinical manifestations
risk factors
and long-term follow-up. Most pediatric thyroid cancers have good prognosis
with ten-year survival rate above 90% and longer survival than adults. Ultrasound and ultrasoundguided fine-needle aspiration cytology are preferred in the diagnosis
preoperative staging and postoperative assessment of pediatric thyroid cancers.
