摘要
Context: Tumor capsule integrity is becoming a relevant issue to predict the biological behavior of human tumors, including thyroid cancer. Objective: This work aims to verify whether a whole tumor capsule in the classical variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (CVPTC) could have as a predictive role of a good outcome as for follicular variant (FVPTC). Methods: FVPTC (n=600) and CVPTC (n=554) cases were analyzed. We distinguished between encapsulated-FVPTC (E-FVPTC) and encapsulated-CVPTC (E-CVPTC) and, thereafter, invasive (Ei-FVPTC and Ei-CVPTC) and noninvasive (En-FVPTC and En-CVPTC) tumors, according to the invasion or integrity of the tumor capsule, respectively. Cases without a tumor capsule were indicated as invasive-FVPTC (I-FVPTC) and invasive-CVPTC (I-CVPTC). The subgroup of each variant was evaluated for BRAF mutations. Results: E-FVPTC was more frequent than E-CVPTC (P<.001). No differences were found between En-FVPTC and En-CVPTC or between Ei-FVPTC and Ei-CVPTC. After 18 years of follow-up, a greater number of not-cured cases were observed in Ei-CVPTC with respect to Ei-FVPTC, but not in En-CVPTC to En-FVPTC. Multivariate clustering analysis showed that En-FVPTC, En-CVPTC, and Ei-FVPTC have similar features but different from I-FVPTC and I-CVPTC and, to a lesser extent, from Ei-CVPTC. A total of 177 of 614 (28.8%) cases were BRAF(V600E) mutated, and 10 of 614 (1.6%) carried BRAF-rare alterations. A significantly higher rate of En-CVPTC (22/49, 44.9%) than En-FVPTC (15/195, 7.7%) (P<.0001) were BRAF(V600E) mutated. Conclusion: En-CVPTC is less prevalent than En-FVPTC. However, it has good clinical/pathological behavior comparable to En-FVPTC. This finding confirms the good prognostic role of a whole tumor capsule in CVPTC as well. New nomenclature for En-CVPTC, similar to that introduced for En-FVPTC (ie, noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features; NIFTP) could be envisaged.
