Background Although papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) generally has an indolent nature,
massive extrathyroid extension (Ex) and clinical lateral node metastasis (N1b) are prominent …

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 …

Prophylactic lymph node dissection is still controversial due to the potentially surgery-related
morbidity in management of papillary thyroid carcinomas. So, some histopathological …

Purpose Determine how the location of cervical lymph node metastases affects survival in
papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and …

Objective To determine the risk of nodal metastases to the central compartment from
differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) relative to known prognostic variables …

Backgrounds The aim of this study is to investigate the risk factors for the cervical lymph
node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods The clinicopathological data …

Background and Objectives Stratification of extranodal extension (ENE) extent has the
potential to improve the accuracy of risk estimations in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) …

Results: Cervical metastases of PTC were most commonly encountered in level VI, followed
by levels III and IV, and then levels II and V. Metastases in level I seldom occurred. Skip …

Background The aim of this study is to elucidate the clinicopathological significances,
including the prognostic role, of metastatic lymph node ratio (mLNR) and tumor deposit …

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