Background: It is widely accepted that maximal extrathyroidal extension (ETE) plays a vital
role in the prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, there is no consensus …

Background Extrathyroidal extension (ETE) is a risk factor for poor papillary thyroid
carcinoma (PTC) outcomes. However, the clinical significance of ETE according to primary …

Background Extensive extrathyroidal extension (ETE) has a significant role in the prognosis
of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) without distant metastasis, but its role in PTC with initial …

Background: The clinical importance of extrathyroidal extension (ETE) on outcome of
papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), particularly with respect to disease extending to the surgical …

Objective We aimed to evaluate the impact of minimal extrathyroidal extension (mETE)
alone on the risk of recurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The impact of other …

Background: The role of minimal extrathyroidal extension (mETE) as a risk factor for
persistent papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is still debated. The aims of this study were to …

Abstract Background and Objectives In papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), the adverse
prognostic impact of extrathyroidal extension (macro‐ETE) invading the subcutaneous soft …

Background This study assessed the influence of extrathyroid extension (EE) on cause-
specific mortality (CSM) and tumor recurrence (TR) in patients treated for papillary thyroid …

Background Minimal extrathyroid extension (mETE) in patients with differentiated thyroid
cancer (DTC) was defined as an intermediate risk feature in the 2015 American Thyroid …

BACKGROUND: Extrathyroidal extension (ETE) is a risk factor for recurrence of papillary
thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Although initial data supporting this was based on gross ETE …
