Papillary thyroid carcinoma of childhood and adolescence: A 30‐year experience at the istituto nazionale tumori in Milan

Survival rates are reportedly excellent for papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) in childhood/adolescence, despite their strong tendency to spread. The aim of this study was to verify this assumption in a single‐institution series spanning a 30‐year period with a very long follow‐up.
