Thyroidectomy 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 کاملMacroscopic 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 surgery in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
BACKGROUND The impact of nodal disease remains controversial in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). STUDY DESIGN One surgeon treated 159 unselected patients, who were followed up for 1 to 27 years. We present a retrospective analysis with respect to nodal disease. Occult nodal disease was investigated, including metachronous nodal disease (mpN(1)) in primarily node negative patients (pN(0), cl...
