Multimodal ultrasound to predict central cervical lymph node metastasis in clinically lymph node-negative differentiated thyroid carcinomas: a two-center retrospective study
Our proposed predictive model based on preoperative clinical and multimodal US parameters carries the potential to predict CCLNM in cN0 DTCs, and may assist in minimizing the risk of unnecessary prophylactic central lymph node dissection (PCLND) among such patients.
