AIMS: In contrast to all prior AJCC/TNM classifications for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) the 8th edition does not take minimal extrathyroidal extension (M-ETE) into consideration for local tumor staging. We therefore aimed to retrospectively assess the specific impact of M-ETE on the outcome of M-ETE patients treated in our clinic.
METHODS: DTC patients with M-ETE and a follow-up time of ≥ 5 years were included and matched with an identical number of patients without M-ETE, but with equal histopathological tumor subtype and size. The frequency of initially metastatic disease among groups was compared using Fisher's exact test, the recurrence rate by virtue of log-rank test. Fisher's exact test and multivariate analysis were used to account for the presence of confounding risk factors.
RESULTS: One hundred sixty patients (80 matching pairs) were eligible. With other confounding risk factors being equal, the prevalence of N1-/M1-disease at initial diagnosis was comparable among groups (M-ETE: 42.5 %; no M-ETE: 32.5 %; p = 0.25). No differences with regard to the recurrence rate were shown. However, M-ETE patients were treated with external beam radiation therapy more often (16.3 % vs. 1.3 %; p = 0.004) and received higher median cumulative activities of 131I (10.0 vs. 8.0 GBq; p < 0.001).
DISCUSSION: Although having played a pivotal role for local tumor staging of DTC for decades M-ETE did not increase the risk for metastases at initial diagnosis and the recurrence rate in our cohort. Patients with M-ETE had undergone intensified treatment, which entails a possible confounding factor that warrants further investigation in randomized controlled trials.
