Differentiated thyroid cancer is a cancer with a good prognosis but the presence of lymph
node metastases is associated with increased rates of loco-regional recurrence and in some …

Cervical lymph node metastases are very common in patients with papillary thyroid cancer
(PTC). Despite that PTC has an excellent prognosis, lymphatic spread is associated with …

Background Although lymphatic metastasis does not affect overall survival for patients with
differentiated thyroid carcinoma, locoregional control can be improved with cervical …

Objective Whether lymph-node dissection (LND) influences the lymph-node recurrence
(LNR) risk in patients with papillary thyroid cancer remains controversial. The prognostic …

The recent prevalence of ultrasonography has made it easier to detect lymph node
metastasis in the lateral compartment of patients with thyroid carcinoma. In this study, we …

Abstract Background In 2002, the UICC/AJCC TNM classification for papillary thyroid
carcinoma was revised. In this study, we examined the validity of this classification system by …

Functional lateral neck dissection requires a large incision providing adequate exposure of
the surgical field. We evaluated the feasibility of minimally invasive video-assisted functional …

In the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), supplementary lymph node dissection
(LND) is not well standardized. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of …

OBJECTIVE: The study purpose was to determine survival and prognostic factors for
differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). METHODS: Cases of DTC were extracted from the …

Background There are 3 compartments of regional lymph nodes to which thyroid carcinoma
metastasizes: central, lateral, and mediastinal compartments. The central compartment is the …
