specific features of metastatic lymph nodes in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients. Method …

Abstract Introduction and Aim Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) constitutes more than 90% of
newly emerging differentiated thyroid cancers. Lymph node metastasis is often seen in PTC …

Background Lymph node metastases in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) increase the risk for
persistent and recurrent disease. Data on the predictive value of histopathological features …

Objectives: The objective of this retrospective study to evaluate whether lymphovascular
invasion (LVI) is associated with lateral cervical lymph node metastasis and tumor …

Background Previous studies have shown that lymph node metastasis can be of prognostic
value. In this study, we investigated the clinical significance of node metastasis focusing on …

At present, the risk factors of cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC) are still controversial. This study was aimed to investigate the risk factors of …

Background The status of metastatic lymph nodes, including the size and extracapsular
spread (ECS), in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has not been well established. This study …

Background The presence and location of regional lymph node metastasis affect the
prognosis of patients with thyroid cancer. Lymph node classification of the current TNM …

Background This study aims to reveal the features of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and
recurrence in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tumors located in the upper portion of the …

It is well-known that papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) frequently metastasizes to the
regional (central and lateral) lymph nodes, even though it is diagnosed as node-negative on …
