Replication Data for: Current Surgical Treatment of Intermediate Risk Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Systematic Review

Surgical treatment of thyroid cancer has become less aggressive but for many patients, the threshold for performing total thyroidectomy (TT), as opposed to thyroid lobectomy (TL), has remained unclear. Current American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines encourage more individualization of treatment options, which necessitates explicit review of the pros and cons of the different options with patients. This review focuses on the extent of surgery for treatment of intermediate-risk differentiated thyroid cancer, restricted to relevant literature available after publication of the 2015 ATA guidelines.

甲状腺癌的手术治疗已趋于保守，但对于多数患者而言，与甲状腺腺叶切除术（thyroid lobectomy, TL）相对的全甲状腺切除术（total thyroidectomy, TT）的手术指征仍不明确。当前美国甲状腺协会（American Thyroid Association, ATA）指南倡导治疗方案更具个体化，这要求临床医师需与患者充分阐明不同术式的利弊。本综述聚焦中危分化型甲状腺癌的手术治疗范围，且限定纳入2015年ATA指南发布后发表的相关文献。
