Low-invasive somatic oncogenes and lymph node metastasis in pediatric papillary thyroid cancer: implications for prophylactic central neck dissection.
Objective: The American Thyroid Association (ATA) Pediatric Guidelines recommend selective, prophylactic central neck dissection (pCND) for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) based on tumor focality, tumor size, and the surgeon's experience. With the expansion of pre-surgical somatic oncogene testing and continued controversy over the benefits of pCND, oncogenic alteration data may provide an opportunity to stratify pCND. This study compared lymph node (LN) involvement in pediatric patients with PTC between tumors with low- and high-invasive-associated alterations to explore the potential utility of preoperative oncogenic alterations in the stratification of pCND.
Methods: This is retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients who underwent somatic oncogene testing post thyroidectomy for PTC between July 2003 and July 2022.
Results: Of 192 eligible PTC patients with postoperative somatic oncogene data, 19 tumors harbored somatic alterations associated with low-invasive disease (19/192, 10%), and 128 tumors harbored a BRAFV600E alteration (45/192, 23%) or an oncogenic fusion (83/192, 43%). Tumors with low-invasive alterations were less likely to present malignant preoperative cytology (2/18, 11%) than those with high-invasive alterations (97/124, 78%; P < 0.001). Twelve patients with low-invasive alterations had LNs dissected from the central neck (12/19, 63%) compared to 127 patients (127/128, 99%) with high-invasive alterations. LN metastasis was identified in two patients with low-invasive alterations (2/19, 11%) compared to 107 patients with high-invasive alterations (107/128, 84%; P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Pediatric patients with low-invasive somatic oncogenic alterations are at low risk for metastasis to central neck LNs. Our findings suggest that preoperative knowledge of somatic oncogene alterations provides objective data to stratify pediatric patients who may not benefit from pCND.
期刊介绍:
The ''European Thyroid Journal'' publishes papers reporting original research in basic, translational and clinical thyroidology. Original contributions cover all aspects of the field, from molecular and cellular biology to immunology and biochemistry, from physiology to pathology, and from pediatric to adult thyroid diseases with a special focus on thyroid cancer. Readers also benefit from reviews by noted experts, which highlight especially active areas of current research. The journal will further publish formal guidelines in the field, produced and endorsed by the European Thyroid Association.
