Abstract:
Objective:To explore the risk factors of central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) patients with thyroid micropapillary carcinoma (PTMC), and formulate a reasonable range of lymph node.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 448 cases of PTMC admitted to the People′s Hospital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from September 2018 to September 2021 including 94 males and 354 females, with a male female ratio of 1.00∶3.77, all patients aged 21 to 82 years old, with the average of (46.9 ± 11.0) years old. According to whether Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is combined, it is divided into HT-PTMC group ( n=142) and non HT-PTMC group ( n=306).Single factor analysis and multiple factor analysis were used to explore whether the clinicopathological characteristics of patients such as gender, age, tumor diameter, number of lesions (single/multiple lesions), presence of capsule invasion, pretracheal/paratracheal lymph nodes, delphian lymph nodes, and lateral cervical lymph nodes were related to lymph node metastasis in the central region. SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis and logistic regression equation was established, The mathematical model was used to evaluate the predictive value of diagnosis and treatment. Results:There were significant differences between HT-PTMC group and non HT-PTMC group in terms of age, sex, metastasis of anterior laryngeal lymph nodes and lateral cervical lymph nodes ( P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that tumor diameter, number of lesions, capsule invasion, calcification, lateral cervical lymph node metastasis were correlated with CLNM in HT-PTMC patients ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that tumor diameter increase and capsule invasion were independent risk factors for CLNM ( P<0.05). Logistic regression mathematical model was established according to the above independent risk factors: (Y=-1.974+ 0.191 × Tumor diameter+ 1.139 × The area under the ROC curve for predicting CLNM in HT-PTMC patients was 0.669 (95% CI: 0.571- 0.766). When taking the maximum Jordan index, the sensitivity of prediction was 0.460, and the specificity was 0.859. Conclusions:For PTMC patients with HT, there is evidence that the tumor diameter increases or the capsule is invaded, and the risk of lymph node metastasis in the central region is increased. Preventive lymph node dissection in the central region is recommended.
