Objective Whether lymph-node dissection (LND) influences the lymph-node recurrence
(LNR) risk in patients with papillary thyroid cancer remains controversial. The prognostic …

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate microscopic nodal status in papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC) with and without lymphadenopathy and its relation to outcomes. Materials …

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors for lateral
lymph node metastasis (LLNM) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Subjects …

Background In patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the appropriate extent of
lymph node dissection has not yet been established due to lack of accurate patterns of …

Background Most of the reports about lymph node (LN) metastasis in papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC) are retrospective studies. Methods We prospectively evaluated the pattern …

AIMS: Systematic lymph node dissection in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)
remains controversial. The objective of this study was to study the pattern of lymph node …

Background Central lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is
common. But the association between primary tumor characteristics and specific features of …

Background Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) metastasizes to central lymph node (CLN). CLN
metastasis is associated with high risk of locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between central lymph node
(CLN) metastasis and clinicopathologic characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). In …

Background Prophylactic dissection facilitates identification of central lymph node (LN)
metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Because most staging systems do …
