Abstract
Thyroid cancer is on the rise. Understanding the clinical heterogeneity will allow for better risk group stratification, appreciation of pathology and exploiting biology to deliver cost effective treatment, discretion in selection of surgical treatment and discretion in use of adjuvant therapy and follow up strategy. The need for research in the molecular biology will help identify that small group of tumors which may behave poorly and potentially avoid overtreatment.
