Lymph nodes (LNs) are important hubs for metastatic cell arrest and growth, immune
modulation, and secondary dissemination to distant sites through a series of mechanisms …

Background Central neck dissection and total thyroidectomy are standard treatments for
patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with clinically involved central nodes …

Objective: To develop evidence-based recommendations for safe, effective, and appropriate
thyroidectomy. Background: Surgical management of thyroid disease has evolved …

Objective This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of
prophylactic central neck dissection (PCND) in patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) …

Background Recommendations for the performance of prophylactic central neck dissection
(pCND) in patients with clinically node-uninvolved (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) …

Aim Accurate preoperative prediction of cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients
with mPTMC provides a basis for surgical decision making and the extent of tumor resection …

Background The role of prophylactic central lymph node dissection (pCLND) for papillary
thyroid cancer (PTC) remains contentious, and the impact of pCLND on long-term patient …

Background Prophylactic central neck dissection (CND) at the time of total thyroidectomy
(TT) remains controversial in clinically node-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma …

Background Papillary thyroid cancer is treated with total/near‐total thyroidectomy (TT) with
