Prior guidelines indicate that completion thyroidectomy is considered in up to 20% of patients with a lobectomy and cancer >2 and ≤4 cm. This paper summarizes the changes in recommendations for completion thyroidectomy in the 2025 ATA differentiated thyroid cancer guidelines.

They identified 425 patients who met study criteria. The authors then identified which of these patients were prescribed levothyroxine after surgery.

]]> From Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public: When all of the thyroid is removed by surgery, patients will require a thyroid pill after surgery. When only part of the thyroid gland is removed during surgery (partial thyroidectomy or thyroid lobectomy), the thyroid tissue left behind might produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body’s needs. The goal of this study was to develop a model to help predict which people will need to take a thyroid hormone pill after partial thyroidectomy. Read More…

]]> From Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public: Thyroid eye disease (TED) develops in 25 to 40% of patients with Graves’ disease, particularly during the first 1 to 2 years following the onset of hyperthyroidism. Statins are widely prescribed drugs that lower cholesterol that also have anti-inflammatory effects and may be able to interfere with the immune response. This study aimed to determine whether starting statins early or whether the start is delayed affects the risk of developing TED in a large nationwide group. Read More…
