Initial surgical treatment plays an important role in the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer, and standardized surgical treatment can help to reduce underdiagnosis and overtreatment. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is the premise of standardized surgical treatment, which helps to reduce the overtreatment of thyroid nodules. Preoperative clinical TN staging assessment for differentiated thyroid cancer should be highly valued, the extent of thyroidectomy should be individualized, and the cervical lymph nodes should be performed in a standardized manner. In addition, the indications for endoscopic thyroid surgery should be strictly selected to maximize the benefit of the patient.
