Abstract:Background
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with lymph node metastasis (LNM) is associated with an increased risk of postoperative recurrence.

Methods
We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 2,428 patients diagnosed with PTC who underwent initial thyroid surgery in our single centre. Risk factors related to central lymph node metasta… Show more
