Background: Preoperative predictors for the need of prophylactic lymph node dissection in
the lateral neck have been studied in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) …

Background Patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) often receive lateral lymph
node dissection with total thyroidectomy when calcitonin levels are elevated, even in the …

Background Total thyroidectomy is the treatment of choice for medullary thyroid carcinoma
(MTC), but the extent of neck dissection is controversial. Lymph node metastases, distant …
