"Overall survival for oncocytic thyroid carcinoma is highly dependent on the degree of vascular invasion 9. Increasing age, male sex, increasing tumour size, locoregional nodal disease, and distant metastases substantially also diminish survival in patients with oncocytic carcinoma 7,9,10. There is a recurrence rate of ~ 20% (range 12-33%) with a 5-year survival rate of ~90% (range 85-96.8%) and a 10-year survival rate of ~65% (range 49.0-94.2%) 10."
"One study reports that TI-RADS was unreliable in predicting malignancy in oncocytic thyroid carcinomas 4."
"An estimated ~10% of patients with oncocytic thyroid carcinoma lesions take up radioactive iodine; hence responses to treatment with radioactive iodine are much lower in these patients when compared to other types of thyroid carcinomas 6."
