Objective Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common endocrine malignancy with a
steadily increasing incidence. Researches have reported that tumor multifocality occurs in …

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 Bilaterality is common in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), but its clinical and
prognostic implications are still controversial, and it remains unclear whether its behavior is …

Context Multifocality is often treated as a risk factor for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC),
prompting aggressive treatments, but its prognostic value remains unestablished. Objective …

The incidence of thyroid cancer has dramatically increased over the last few decades, and
up to 60% of patients have multifocal tumors. However, the prognostic impact of multifocality …

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 …

Simple Summary Around 30% of patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) have
multifocality. As tumor multifocality could increase the risk of recurrence in patients with PTC …

Introduction Non-total thyroidectomy (non-TTx) is a widely accepted operative procedure for
low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). PTC patients preoperatively diagnosed with …

Background As many inconsistent reports on the clinical manifestations and prognosis
between unilateral unifocal PTC (UUPTC) and unilateral multifocal PTC (UMPTC) …

Background Tumor multifocality is frequently seen in Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
However, few studies have analysed the impact of bilateral multifocality in PTC. The …
