ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The clinical behaviour and oncologic outcome of diffuse sclerosing papillary thyroid carcinoma (DS-PTC) is poorly understood. The objectives of this study were to compare the clinicopathological characteristics and oncological outcomes of DS-PTC to classic PTC (cPTC) and tall cell PTC (TC-PTC).METHODS:
After institutional review board approval, 86 DS-PTC, 2,080 cPTC, and 701 TC-PTC patients treated at MSKCC between 1986 and 2021 were identified. Clinicopathological characteristics were compared by using chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier and log rank were used to compare recurrence-free survival (RFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS). DS-PTC patients were propensity matched to cPTC and TC-PTC patients for further comparison.RESULTS:
DS-PTC patients were younger with more advanced disease than cPTC and TC-PTC (p < 0.05). Lymphovascular invasion (LVI), extranodal extension, and positive margins were more common in DS-PTC (p < 0.02). Propensity matching confirmed more aggressive histopathological features in DS-PTC. The median number of metastatic lymph nodes was significantly greater and DS-PTC metastases were RAI avid. DS-PTC 5-year RFS was 50.4% compared with 92.4% in cPTC and 88.4% in TC-PTC (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed DS-PTC as an independent prognostic factor of recurrence. Ten-year DSS for DS-PTC was 100% compared with 97.1% in cPTC and 91.1% in TC-PTC. Differentiated high-grade, thyroid carcinoma DS had more advanced T-stage and worse 5-year RFS than DS-PTC.CONCLUSIONS:
DS-PTC presents with more advanced clinicopathological features than cPTC and TC-PTC. Large-volume nodal metastases and LVI are characteristic features. Almost half of patients develop recurrence despite aggressive initial management. Despite this, with successful salvage surgery DSS is excellent.
