The GBI is a valuable tool for evaluating patient satisfaction after revision surgery for a draining cavity. This information is helpful in understanding the impact of a draining cavity on an individual's life and may be beneficial in preoperative selection and counseling.

All thyroid nodules with focal uptake on (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/CT should be considered at higher risk of malignancy than those discovered incidentally by other imaging modalities. Higher SUV(max) values are more indicative of malignant lesions. All lesions should be evaluated with ultrasonography ± fine-needle aspiration if no clinical contraindications exist. Size of the primary nodule does not influence SUV(max) uptake.

Data regarding the impact of LND on survival, recurrence, and postoperative complications are mixed. Routine prophylactic LND for WDTC does not have a clearly advantageous risk-to-benefit ratio.
