Introduction Identifying risk variables for cervical lymph node metastases in multifocality
papillary thyroid cancer (MPTC) could assist surgeons in determining whether cervical …

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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between central lymph node
(CLN) metastasis and clinicopathologic characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). In …
