Multifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinomas: is the total tumor diameter associated with the tumor behavior? A retrospective cohort study
This study demonstrated that in multifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinomas, the sum of the largest diameters of all tumor foci was not associated with tumor aggressiveness or response to therapy at 1-year follow-up. Conversely, the total number of metastatic lymph nodes was an independent predictor of American Joint Committee on Cancer staging.
