## Resource

What are the experts saying about thyroid cancer treatment in 2025? Maybe it’s time to discuss deescalation of aggressive surgical care for lower risk thyroid cancers. We can accept that less surgery may be appropriate in select cases, including more thyroid lobectomies versus total thyroidectomies, consider less invasive approaches such as percutaneous ablation techniques, and utilize more observation with active surveillance. Early assessment of treatment may allow appropriate reduction in use of radioactive iodine ablation and more relaxed routine monitoring can reduce surveillance burden to patients and providers.

Affiliated with University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Surgery. - Simon Holoubek, DO, MPH, Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Surgery. - Alexander Chiu, MD, Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Surgery. - Rebecca S Sippel, MD, FACS, Professor and Chair of Division of Endocrine Surgery, Vice Chair of Academic Affairs and Professional Development, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Surgery. Learning Objectives: - Risk stratification system now includes 4 categories: low, low-intermediate, high-intermediate, and high -TSH suppression targets are simplified: below the normal range if there is structural or biochemical disease and in the normal range if disease free. - Thyroid lobectomy is recommended for tumors < 2cm cT1N0 tumors and can be considered for tumors 2-4 cm. - Micro-Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (<1cm) can be managed with active surveillance and…
