Background The clinical impact of vascular invasion in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is
not well understood. Our aim was to determine if there was an association between vascular …

Background The prognostic importance of vascular invasion has not been extensively
studied in patients with papillary thyroid cancer. Objective To determine whether the …

Data are limited regarding the association between tumor lymphovascular invasion and
survival for patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). This study sought to examine …

Background Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is an established adverse prognostic factor in
many cancers, however, there are few studies assessing its significance in papillary thyroid …

Objective The American Thyroid Association (ATA) recurrence risk prediction system
considers vascular invasion (VI) as a relative indicator for adjuvant radioactive iodine (RAI) …

Objective It is still unclear whether the clinicopathological and outcome characteristics of
vascular invasion (VI)(+) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) differ from VI (−) PTC. This study …

Purpose Presence of venous vascular invasion is a criterion of intermediate risk of
recurrence in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, the presence and type of …

Background: Vascular invasion (VI) is an important predictor of distant metastasis and
possible radioactive iodine (RAI) benefit in follicular, Hürthle cell, and poorly differentiated …

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer. The
widespread use of neck ultrasound (US) and US-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology is …

BACKGROUND: The association of angioinvasion with tumor aggressiveness in follicular
and papillary thyroid carcinoma remains unclear. This study addresses this problem …
