Clinicopathological and ultrasound features as risk stratification predictors of clinical and pathological nodal status in papillary thyroid carcinoma: A study of 748 patients
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common histological type of thyroid malignancy that tends to metastasize to cervical lymph nodes. In the present study, we aimed to investigate which clinicopathologic and ultrasound features of PTC are associated with clinical lymph node metastasis (LNM) and numbers of pathological LNM.
