Importance Multifocality is common in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), but it is unclear
whether multifocal tumors are associated with tumor recurrence or cancer-specific survival …

Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common histological type of
differentiated thyroid malignancy. Although the majority of PTC is located in the thyroid …

Background Although multifocality is often observed in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC),
the associations with clinicopathologic factors and the prognostic value are still …

There are about half of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with the experience of
central lymph node metastasis (CLNM), while the model to predict high-risk groups of CLNM …

Objectives WDTC (papillary and follicular thyroid cancer) make up around 90% of all thyroid

papillary thyroid cancer (MPTC) could assist surgeons in determining whether cervical …

The multifocal papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), with more aggressive and poorer prognosis, is
not rare in papillary histotype. Few studies evaluated risk factors and lymph node metastasis …

Background Few highly accurate tests can diagnose central lymph node metastasis (CLNM)
