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 …

Recent advances in modern imaging allow an accurate identification of involved or
suspicious lymph nodes within the nodal compartments of the neck. Careful …

Background The impact of clinically or radiologically detected nodal metastases on survival
in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is controversial but seems more important and …

Plasma, the fourth state of matter, is defined as a partially or completely ionized gas that
includes a mixture of electrons and ions. Advances in plasma physics have made it possible …

Abstract Background Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a marker of tumor recurrence during thyroid
cancer follow-up. While helpful in the postoperative setting, the clinical significance of …

Introduction Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounts for the majority of thyroid
malignancies; risk of PTC recurrence over a 30‐year period is approximately 30%, of which …

Background The objective of this study was to determine the rate and pattern of nodal
recurrence in patients who underwent a therapeutic, lateral neck dissection (LND) for …

Background Compartment-oriented lymph node dissection in patients with thyroid cancer
and macroscopic lymph node metastases reduces recurrence and improves survival …

Background Well-differentiated thyroid cancer includes the most common type of thyroid
cancer, papillary, as well as follicular and Hürthle cell cancers. Other thyroid cancers include …
