Abstract
- Cervical lymph node metastasis is common in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Lateral neck node metastases are a significant consideration in surgical management of patients with DTC. However, the optimal extent of therapeutic lateral neck dissection remains controversial. Optimizing the surgical extent of lymph node dissection is fundamental to balancing the surgical morbidity and oncological benefits in DTC patients with lateral neck metastasis. Consideration of the individualized appropriate surgical extent of lateral lymph node is important in treatment of DTC patients.
