especially regarding the necessity of central lymph node dissection (CLND), remains …

Background Because lymph node (LN) metastasis has been proven to be a predictor for
locoregional recurrence (LRR) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), better …

Currently the surgical approach for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), particularly the
range of lymph node dissection, remains controversial. The present study aims to evaluate …
