Background The effectiveness of prophylactic central neck dissection (pCND) following total
thyroidectomy (TT) in patients with clinical node-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma …

Objective Prophylactic central neck dissection (CND) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)
remains controversial. If the presence of central lymph node metastasis could be assessed …

Background Cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) is an independent risk factor for poor
prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), but the scope of PTC lateral neck dissection …

BACKGROUND: The role of routine prophylactic central-neck lymph node dissection
(CLND) for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remains controversial. We perform CLND for PTC …

Central lymph node metastases are common in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer
(DTC). The management of preoperatively nodenegative (cN0) DTC is still under debate …

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 …

Background To compare the “comprehensive”(including bilateral paratracheal, pretracheal,
prelaryngeal lymph nodes)(CCND) with “limited”(saving contralateral paratracheal lymph …

Background To evaluate the relationship between lymph node yield (LNY) from the initial
central neck dissection (CND) and the risk of recurrence in patients undergoing reoperative …

Objective We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled
trials (RCTs) that scrutinized the oncological benefits and postsurgical complications of total …

Background Current guidelines advocate no prophylactic dissection of the lateral neck
compartment for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) without clinical evidence of lateral neck …
