prognosis, but the term “cancer” sounds severe and harsh, which can elicit emotional and …

Background Papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) is a subgroup of papillary thyroid carcinoma
(PTC) measuring 1.0 cm or less in diameter. Herein we focused on the search for risk factors …

Background Papillary carcinomas that measure 1.0 cm or less are diagnosed as papillary
thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMs). The clinical significance and recommendations for …

Background We examined the clinicopathologic features of papillary thyroid
microcarcinomas (PTMCs) measuring≤ 7 mm and compared them with those of PTMCs> 7 …

Background No agreement has been made about the optimal extent of thyroidectomy or
lymph node dissection in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Our aim was to find out …

Hypothesis Total thyroidectomy followed by radioactive iodine I 131 treatment is effective in
papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTM) with lymph node or extrathyroid invasion. Design …

Background: The clinical significance of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) tumors≤
1 cm is widely debated. The objective of this study was to compare conventional papillary …

Background The behavior and optimal management of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas
(PTMCs) after thyroidectomy remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the …

BACKGROUND: The study aims were to characterize patients with papillary thyroid
microcarcinoma (PTM) and to describe post-surgical outcome. METHODS: Nine hundred …
