Purpose The purpose of the present study was to identify more useful parameters for
predicting behaviors of multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Materials and Methods …

Abstract The current American Joint Committee (AJCC) on Cancer TNM classification does
not describe the treatment of multifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) with a …

Objective: Considering the diameter of the largest tumor while determining T stage in
multifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) might cause underestimation of …

Background Tumor multifocality is frequently observed in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
However, the maximum tumor diameter (MTD), currently utilized in various staging schemes …

Background Tumor multifocality is not uncommon in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC),
especially in micro-PTC. However, assessing the size of the largest tumor may …

Background Accurate evaluation of the risk of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is
the key to treatment. However, the maximum diameter (MD), which is currently used in …

Objective Multifocal cancer is common in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Our aim
was to investigate the correlation between multifocal PTMC, total tumor diameter (TTD), and …

Tumor multifocality is not an unusual finding in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), but its
clinical significance is controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate impact of …

Objectives In this study, we aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a new parameter–ratio of the
biggest tumor diameter to total tumor diameter-for the differentiation of agressive and …

Background We examined the clinicopathologic features of papillary thyroid
microcarcinomas (PTMCs) measuring≤ 7 mm and compared them with those of PTMCs> 7 …
