Abstract:Background
The need for lateral neck dissection (LND) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) might be better understood by identifying risk variables for occult lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM). This study's goal was to create a nomogram for predicting the likelihood of LLNM in individuals with cN0 unifocal PTMC.
Methods
A total of 9744 patients with cN0 unifocal PTMC who had treatment at our facility between February 2013 and April 2020 were the subject of our retrospective analysis. The risk variable… Show more
