Background: Lymph node (LN) yield and ratio are considered important predictors of post-
treatment outcomes for several human cancers. This study examined the association …

Background Prophylactic central neck dissection (CND) at the time of total thyroidectomy
(TT) remains controversial in clinically node-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma …

Background: Recurrence of regional cervical lymph nodes in patients with papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC) is not uncommon, and is an important factor affecting the quality of life. The …

neck (NRLN) in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) who underwent total …

Introduction Lymph nodal involvement in papillary thyroid cancers is very common, but the
role of lymph node dissection is still controversial. Surgeons are consequently divided …

Background Lateral lymph node metastasis is an important prognostic factor and is
predictive of tumor recurrence and cause-specific survival in patients with papillary thyroid …
