Development and validation of a novel nomogram for predicting lateral lymph node metastasis in medullary thyroid carcinoma
We developed a novel nomogram incorporating ETE, CLNM, and Ln_Ctn to accurately estimate LLNM probability in MTC patients. This predictive model significantly improves risk stratification, provides valuable guidance for surgical decision-making regarding LLND, and supports personalized surgical planning.
