Background: Inadequate and conflicting reporting exists regarding the intricate association
between positive lymph node (PLN) number and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) survival. Our …

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

Importance Lymph node metastases are common in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), yet the
impact of nodal metastases on survival remains unclear. Lymph node density (LND) is the …

Background In papillary thyroid cancer, the role of lymph node dissection remains
controversial, and staging systems consider metastatic lymph nodes as a binary entity. The …

Background The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the lymph node ratio on
prognosis in papillary thyroid cancer patients with lymph node metastasis. Methods Data …

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 …

Objective: It has been reported that papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with lymph
node metastasis (LNM) are more associated with adverse outcomes. This study aimed to …

Background Despite the majority of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients has an
excellent prognosis, central lymph node metastases (CLNM) are common. The relationship …

We investigated the possible association between the lymph node density and survival
outcomes in differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma, and examined whether the lymph …

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 …
