Risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer: a retrospective analysis based on 2,428 cases
Despite the overall postoperative recurrence rate in PTC patients is low, identifying risk factors such as male gender, age < 45 years, MAD > 1 cm, multifocality, and CLNM can help predict LNM. In specific cases, selective lymphadenectomy in the central or lateral neck area may be warranted.
