BACKGROUND: The prognostic role of lymph node metastases in well-differentiated thyroid
carcinoma remains controversial. We investigated impact of lymph node involvement on …

Though survival for well-differentiated thyroid cancer is very good, specific populations suffer
greater recurrence and mortality. Defining these cohorts can significantly influence …

There are many concepts of risk and prognostic factor analysis for differentiated thyroid
cancer. The prognostic role of lymph node metastases in follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) …

Purpose Cervical lymph node metastases are recognized as a prognostic indicator only in
patients age 45 years or older with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC); patients younger than age …

Objectives To study the clinical and pathological variables predicting lymph node
metastases in patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma and to examine the impact …

Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) frequently recurs to the lymph nodes, which
may not be fatal immediately but is a stressor for physicians and patients. Recurrence to the …

BACKGROUND A delay in the diagnosis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma often leads to
larger tumors, higher prevalence rates of distant metastasis, and earlier cause‐specific …

Background In papillary thyroid cancer, the role of lymph node dissection remains
controversial, and staging systems consider metastatic lymph nodes as a binary entity. The …

Background Cervical lymph node metastasis in differentiated thyroid carcinoma has mostly
been found to have little relationship to prognosis. However, some studies report nodal …

Purpose Determine how the location of cervical lymph node metastases affects survival in
papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and …
