Backgrounds The aim of this study is to investigate the risk factors for the cervical lymph
node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods The clinicopathological data …

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 The goals of this study were to analyze clinical factors that affect cervical lymph
node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), and to evaluate the diagnostic …

Purpose Patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) frequently present a relatively poor
prognosis when they coexist with cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM). Moreover, it …

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

Background Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is frequent in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)
and is associated with a poor prognosis. Unlike central LNM (CLNM), there are few studies …

There are about half of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with the experience of
central lymph node metastasis (CLNM), while the model to predict high-risk groups of CLNM …

BACKGROUND: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) frequently metastasizes to the regional
neck; skip metastasis (metastasis to the lateral compartment in the absence of central …

Objectives To screen out the predictors of central cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) for
papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and establish a prediction model to guide the operation of …

Background Prophylactic central lymph node dissection (CLND) in clinically node‐negative
patients remains controversial, and predictive factors for central lymph node metastasis …
