Abstract:Background
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most frequent malignant tumor in thyroid carcinoma. The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors associated with central lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and establish a nomogram model that can assess the probability of central lymph node metastasis (CLNM).
Methods
The clinicopathological data of 377 patients with cN0 PTMC were collected and analyzed from T… Show more
