OBJECTIVES: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has a favorable prognosis. However, indeterminate lymph nodes (LNs) are common, making it challenging to distinguish recurrent from persistent DTC. Previous studies have not specifically compared the prognosis between recurrent and persistent DTC. Therefore, we aimed to compare prognosis and oncologic characteristics between these two groups.
METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single tertiary care institution and included 265 patients with DTC (recurrent, 109; persistent, 156) who underwent reoperation between November 1, 1999, and August 31, 2018, for structural disease. Patients with distant metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis were excluded. Clinical and oncological characteristics, patterns of LN metastasis, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups. For DFS, time zero was defined as the date of the second operation.
RESULTS: Recurrent DTC had a higher incidence of central LN metastasis (P=0.003), infield recurrence (P<0.001), and distant metastasis (P<0.001). In contrast, persistent DTC more frequently exhibited lateral LN metastasis (P=0.003) and outfield recurrence (P<0.001). The most common site of neck LN metastasis was ipsilateral level VI/VII (51.4%) in recurrent DTC and ipsilateral level IV (43.0%) in persistent DTC. Ten-year DFS was significantly lower in recurrent DTC than in persistent DTC (41.0% vs. 67.9%; P<0.001). Recurrent DTC, older age, a higher number of metastatic LNs at the second operation (first reoperation), and R1/R2 resection at the second operation were associated with decreased DFS. OS did not significantly differ between recurrent and persistent DTC (P=0.160).
CONCLUSION: Recurrent DTC is associated with poorer DFS than persistent DTC, although OS does not significantly differ between the two groups.
