Postoperative 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 ...
متن کاملTumor Sprouting in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Is Correlated with Lymph Node Metastasis and Recurrence
BACKGROUND Identification of poor prognostic factors in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients is important for the patients' care and follow-up. We can sometimes see small tumor clusters without desmoplasia and no evidence of lymphatic emboli around the main tumor mass of PTC. We termed this form of tumor clustering, 'tumor sprouting,' and determined whether these tumors correlate with lym...
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 کاملPapillary thyroid carcinoma: MR diagnosis of lymph node metastasis.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to ascertain the usefulness of MR imaging in the diagnosis of nodal metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma and to establish the most indicative MR criteria of metastasis. METHODS Pathologic records and MR images in 50 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma were reviewed. Each neck was divided into four nodal levels, so that 200 nodal levels were ass...
متن کاملPapillary thyroid carcinoma with thyroiditis: lymph node metastasis, complications
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer with thyroiditis, and to determine the rate of its complications for it. METHODS A retrospective review of 1,247 patients with papillary thyroid cancer who underwent primary thyroidectomy was performed. Among them, 316 patients had thyroiditis (group I) while 931 patients had no thy...
