Objective To explore the factors that predict the prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.Method The literature searching terms include "prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma" "ultrasound of papillary thyroid carcinoma" "papillary thyroid carcinoma and Hashimoto's thyroiditis", and "genes related to papillary thyroid carcinoma". The factors used to predict the prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma such as the patient's clinical characteristics, ultrasound characteristics, serological indicators, genes mutations, etc. were reviewed.Results Ultrasound features such as lesion diameter greater than 1 cm, extra-glandular invasion, and related gene mutations may increase the risk of postoperative recurrence. Patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis may have better prognosis.Conclusion There are many factors that can predict the risk of recurrence in patients to a certain extent, but most of them are just in the study, so it is necessary to enact more standardized follow-up management to improve the survival rate.
