Abstract : pDifferentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) are seen with increasing incidence in clinical practice. These tumours have good prognosis and the extent of surgery can be tailored to the size and pathological characteristics of the lesion. Historically total thyroidectomy was the recommended procedure for tumours 1 cm; however, current recommendations suggest a more conservative approach.
