Key Points

The study aims to compare the aggressiveness of familial and sporadic non-medullary thyroid cancer and its clinical implications.
Analyzed patient records of familial non-medullary thyroid cancer (FNMTC) and sporadic cases.
Evaluated rates of lymph node involvement and age of onset in both groups.
Recommended preoperative evaluations and screening strategies.
FNMTC patients show earlier onset of the disease compared to sporadic cases.
Higher rates of lymph node involvement are present in FNMTC.
The findings support the need for cervical ultrasound screening starting in adolescence.

Implication

Findings suggest higher aggressiveness in familial non-medullary thyroid cancer, indicating a need for early screening approaches.
