Assessing the Role of Inflammatory Markers in Predicting Central Lymph Node Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
This study demonstrates significant associations between clinicopathological features and CLNM in PTC. Male gender, larger tumor size, and multifocality correlated with higher CLNM rates. While inflammatory markers such as NLR and PLR did not show significant differences, PLR's positive correlation with age in CLNM patients suggests potential prognostic value, warranting further investigation.
