Context Tumor size is important in determining the range of surgery in papillary thyroid
carcinomas (PTCs), especially those smaller than 1 cm. Objective We aimed to analyze the …

Lymph node metastasis is an important clinicopathological feature of papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC). PTC having clinically apparent lateral node metastasis detectable on …

Background Regional nodal recurrence (RNR) in patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC) has increased. Variable immunohistochemical (IHC) markers have been …

Purpose The aim of this research was to find the sonographic features of primary tumor as
independent predictive factors for lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma …

Background Tumour size and extrathyroidal extension (ETE) may impact papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC) outcomes. We therefore examined the prognostic value of tumour size and …

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer, and surgery is
crucial for curing PTC. PTC patients often experience lymph node metastasis (LNM) in the …

metastasis cancer staging system for papillary thyroid carcinoma places low weight on …

BACKGROUND In patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma, age and the presence or
absence of distant metastasis are regarded as the main prognostic factors. However, the …

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 Many patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) demonstrate satisfactory
outcomes. However, 8%–28% of patients with PTC show tumor recurrence, which may affect …
