Abstract | Background & objective: The most frequent type of cancer found in the endocrine system is thyroid carcinoma. Among well-differentiated thyroid malignancies, the most commonly occurring type is identified as papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), which makes up 70-90% of the cases. A subtype of PTC is papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), which includes tumors smaller than 10 mm in diameter. Due to the advancements in diagnostic techniques, the incidence of this type of cancer is on the rise. In this study, we aimed to analyze the factors worsening the PTMC prognosis. Methods: In the first step, we searched various databases for the factors affecting this tumor. The relevant articles were collected and different outcomes of this tumor and its associated factors which were studied in more than one article, were classified. Finally, we conducted a meta-analysis of these outcomes and their related factors. Results: In the meta-analysis, a significantly association was found between the following factors: recurrence with gender ( Conclusion: In conclusion, it is essential to note that greater awareness and understanding of this tumor characteristics and special and separate attention to PTMC can significantly improve the society overall health |
