However, the limited current medical evidence suggests that there is no reason to believe that merely a history of thyroid cancer is enough to have an increased risk of developing COVID-19 infection or to evolve into a poor outcome. The frequency and modality of surveillance for patients with thyroid cancer in the COVID-19 pandemic must be adapted according to the risk of recurrence and the response to treatment. Patients with an excellent, indeterminate, or biochemical incomplete response to treatment do not constitute a risk group for COVID-19 infection, and the frequency of structural disease is less than 4%, 15%, and 20%, respectively [14] . ./cache/cord-289533-hip9qtu5.txt ./txt/cord-289533-hip9qtu5.txt
