carcinoma (PTC) patients with initial presentation of lateral neck metastasis (N1b). Summary …

Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with clinically node-positive lateral neck is
more likely to recur after surgery than node-negative PTC. The present study investigated …

features of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) presenting with neck lymph node …

Background The prognostic influence of lateral neck nodal metastases present at the time of
diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remains controversial. This study aims to …
