Objective Whether lymph-node dissection (LND) influences the lymph-node recurrence
(LNR) risk in patients with papillary thyroid cancer remains controversial. The prognostic …

Background In patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the appropriate extent of
lymph node dissection has not yet been established due to lack of accurate patterns of …

Purpose Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the most common thyroid cancer histotype, has
a good prognosis even when spread to the neck lymph node (LN). The prognostic role of LN …

Background. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a form of thyroid cancer with high risk of
cervical lymph node metastasis. Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence …

Background This meta‐analysis aimed to identify the clinicopathological factors that could
predict the risk of occult lateral neck lymph node metastasis (OLLNM) in N0/N1a papillary …

Purpose To identify lateral lymph node (LN) characteristics predictive of outcome in papillary
thyroid cancer patients with clinically evident nodal disease. Methods A total of 438 patients …

Background Cervical lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is
common. However, whether undergoing prophylactic central lymph node (CLN) dissection …

Background Lateral neck lymph node (LN) metastases (N1b) have been identified as
independent risk factors of recurrence in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) …

Background To investigate the influence of different risk factors on central lymph node
metastasis (CLNM) in the cervical region in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) …

There are about half of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with the experience of
central lymph node metastasis (CLNM), while the model to predict high-risk groups of CLNM …
