This study aims to investigate the differences in clinical characteristics, causes of death, long-term survival, and surgical approaches between pediatric and adolescent follicular and papillary carcinoma by exploring data from the SEER database. The research is designed as a retrospective cohort study, primarily focused on collecting and comparing data to identify key disparities and outcomes between these two patient groups. It is anticipated that the findings will provide valuable insights into the management and prognosis of these cancers in younger populations, contributing to more targeted and effective treatment strategies.
