Predictive models for contralateral occult thyroid carcinoma and central lymph node metastasis in unilateral multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma based on ultrasound
This study developed models for predicting contralateral OTC and CLNM (number ≥5) in unilateral MPTC based on ultrasound to mitigate the risk of overtreatment while considering the potential for recurrence, thereby providing guidance for the precise implementation of individualized surgical strategies.
