Prognostic factors and risk group analysis are very well known in well differentiated thyroid cancer. One of the major prognostic factors is presence of extrathyroidal extension and residual gross tumor. It is not uncommon to find the final pathology report showing minimal extrathyroidal extension.

However, several reports in the literature suggest no prognostic implication of microscopic or minimal extrathyroidal extension.
