Recurrence and survival for patients with thyroid carcinoma in the pediatric age group in the emirate of Abu Dhabi: retrospective analysis of a multicentre cohort.

Potential risk factors in our population include a family history of thyroid cancer and obesity. The lower rate of ETE, LVI, metastasis, and recurrence indicates a possibly less aggressive disease.
