Abstract:
In recent years, thyroid cancer has become a common clinical issue. In the past 30 years, the global thyroid cancer incidence has increased significantly, becoming one of the top ten malignant tumors. Substantial scientific advances in the management of this condition have also occurred. To promote improved clinical management of thyroid cancer in China, the Chinese Association of Thyroid Oncology (CATO) organized experts in the field to write guidelines based on the latest relevant literature and the collective clinical experience of multiple centers. These CACA guidelines provide management recommendations for different types of thyroid carcinoma, including papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), follicular thyroid cancer (FTC), medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC).
