Objective A larger primary tumour size, greater numbers of cervical lymph node (LN)
metastasis are associated with a higher risk of distant metastases in papillary thyroid …

Objective To determine the patterns of lateral cervical metastasis and the incidence of level
IIb lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma. Design Retrospective medical …

Background The status of metastatic lymph nodes, including the size and extracapsular
spread (ECS), in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has not been well established. This study …

Objectives/Hypothesis The aim of this study was to identify any possible predictive factors of
lateral neck recurrence in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma with no ultrasonographic …

Abstract Objective/Hypothesis: To describe our institution's experience with the management
of cervical metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and suggest a treatment strategy …

Background This study analyzed the incidence, pattern, and predictive factors for lateral
lymph node (LN) recurrence in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) without clinical …

Objective Whether central lymph node metastasis is a reliable indicator of lateral lymph
node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma remains obscure. To investigate the value of …

Objective Therapeutic lateral neck dissection (ND) is recommended for N1b papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC), while prophylactic contralateral lateral ND is not. Given the paucity of data …

Objective To determine if more extensive neck dissection in patients with papillary
carcinoma of the thyroid affords a survival benefit vs limited lymphadenectomy of positive …

Background Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a common endocrine cancer and commonly
