Background This study aimed to explore the prognostic impact that the log odds of positive
lymph nodes (LODDS) has on medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and to develop a nomogram …

Background Lymph node ratio (LNR) and the log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS)
have been proposed as alternative lymph node (LN) classification schemes. Various cut-off …

Introduction Despite the crucially prognostic value of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in
patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), only the LNM compartment alone was …

the United States based on the latest Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) …

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) has a propensity to cervical lymph node metastases (LNM).
Recent studies have shown that both the number of involved lymph nodes (LNs) and the …
