The revised American Thyroid Association management guidelines 2009 for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer: an evidence-based risk-adapted approach.

摘要

In view of the significant amount of work that has been carried out in the field of management of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) over the last few years, members of a task force set up by the American Thyroid Association (ATA) undertook a painstaking critical analysis of the current published literature and revised the 2006 guidelines. The task force included experts from Europe, so the American and European guidelines are now more closely aligned [1,2].
