Background The primary purposes of this interdisciplinary consensus statement were to
review the relevant indications for central neck dissection (CND) in patients with papillary …

Objective: Cervical metastases in papillary thyroid carcinoma are associated with increased
recurrence. However, their effect on survival remains controversial. This study evaluated …

Background To evaluate the relationship between lymph node yield (LNY) from the initial
central neck dissection (CND) and the risk of recurrence in patients undergoing reoperative …

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 …

Objective The Da Vinci Robot is the most advanced micro-control system in endoscopic
surgical instruments and has gained a lot of valuable experience today. However, the …

Background: Lymph node (LN) yield and ratio are considered important predictors of post-
treatment outcomes for several human cancers. This study examined the association …

Background Papillary thyroid cancer is treated with total/near‐total thyroidectomy (TT) with
or without central lymph node dissection (CLND), depending on risk factors and tumour size …

The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the optimal
extent of lateral neck dissection in patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma with …

Introduction The lymph node ratio (LNR), which represents the proportion of metastatic
lymph nodes resected, has been found to be a prognostic variable in several cancers, but …

Objective Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common pathological type of thyroid
carcinoma, and is prone to cervical lymph node metastases (CLNM). We aim to evaluate the …
