For patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, lymph node involvement is a common
complication, resulting in node dissection and its resulting morbidity. To determine means of …

Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) does recur, despite its favorable long-term
outcome. The incidence of thyroid cancer in South Korea increased during the 1990s, then …

Background The prognosis of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is usually
