Background The N stage in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is an important prognostic factor
based on anatomical localization of cervical lymph nodes (LNs) only and not the extent 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 lymph node yield (LNY) and the lymph node ratio (LNR) have been shown
to be important prognostic factors in oral, colon, and gastric cancers. The role of the LNY and …

Background Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) metastasizes to central lymph node (CLN). CLN
metastasis is associated with high risk of locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis …

Simple Summary In a retrospective study, researchers analyzed data from 909 patients with
papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) who underwent thyroidectomy and neck dissection. The …

Objective The presence of central neck lymph node (LN) metastases (defined as pN1a
according to Tumor Node Metastasis classification) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is …

Abstract Learning Objectives Explain how lymph node ratio can be used to predict disease
recurrence for papillary thyroid cancer. Cite the threshold total and central lymph node ratios …

Background The purpose of this study was to present our focus on the lymph node status in
the central compartment and evaluate the relevant factors and disease recurrence. Methods …

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate microscopic nodal status in papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC) with and without lymphadenopathy and its relation to outcomes. Materials …

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 …
