Macroscopic lymph-node involvement and neck dissection predict lymph-node recurrence in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE Whether lymph-node dissection (LND) influences the lymph-node recurrence (LNR) risk in patients with papillary thyroid cancer remains controversial. The prognostic impact of macroscopic and microscopic lymph-node involvement at diagnosis is also an unresolved issue. A retrospective study was conducted to assess the influence of various LND procedures and to search for LNR risk factors...
متن کاملLymph node dissection in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
The management of papillary thyroid carcinoma continues to evolve. Although the debate over the extent of thyroidectomy has largely faded, the role of elective neck dissection in the surgical management of papillary thyroid cancer has become a topic of contention. The current standard of care for patients with papillary thyroid cancer includes total thyroidectomy and a therapeutic lymph node di...
متن کاملThyroidectomy and Lymph Node Dissection in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Papillary carcinoma is a prominent malignancy originating from follicular cells. This disease generally shows an indolent character, but patients demonstrating certain clinicopathological features have a dire prognosis. At present, Western countries adopted almost routine total thyroidectomy with radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation, while limited thyroidectomy with extensive prophylactic lymph no...
متن کاملLymph node dissection in papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Prospective randomized studies aimed at evaluating the different therapeutic protocols for the treatment of papillary or follicular carcinoma are lacking at the moment. Although total thyroidectomy is widely accepted, indication to locoregional lymphadenectomy is strongly debated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four patients with papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma (45 papillary...
متن کاملPostoperative recurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma with lymph node metastasis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the features of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) presenting with neck lymph node (LN) metastasis. METHODS The study enrolled 909 patients with PTC who had undergone total thyroidectomy. After a median follow-up of 14.6 years, 73 (8.0%) patients died of thyroid cancer. A total of 536 patients had ...
