Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid cancer is acknowledged to be an international priority in healthcare. It is currently one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. Recent demographic trends indicate a continuous increase in incidence in childhood. Increasing efforts and resources have been devoted to the search for a systematic and optimized strategy for thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment in children and adolescents. Currently, the Thyroid Cancer Center model is considered to be the gold standard, and its use ensures optimal patient-centered and research-based clinical services through multidisciplinary and integrated management. Surgical treatment has gradually evolved toward target approaches for children with the adoption of new technologies. The evolution of evidence-based guidelines has led to a steady improvement in the care of children. This Special Issue will highlight innovations in the integrated management of thyroid cancer in childhood, their potential advantages, and the many open issues that remain to be properly defined and addressed.
