Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical risk factors of large volume lymph node metastasis (LV-LNM) in the central region of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) .Methods:The clinical data of 1367 PTC patients admitted to the Department of Oncological Surgery, Hangzhou First People’s Hospital, Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from Jan. 2016 to Jan. 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 310 males and 1057 females. A total of 1644 cases of central region were included in the study.According to the number of lymph node metastasis in the central area, they were classified into small-volume lymph node metastasis (SV-LNM) group and LV-LNM group.71 cases of LV-LNM, 1573 cases of SV-LNM.The correlation between CLNM and LV-LNM and various clinicopathological features such as the sex, age, tumor size and so on of PTC patients was analyzed by chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis.Results:The proportion of CLNM in the affected side was 35.28% (580/1 644) , and the incidence of LV-LNM in the central area of the affected side was 4.32% (71/1644) . Univariate analysis showed that the LV-LNM in the central region of the affected side was closely correlated with gender, age, bilateral lesions, multiple lesions, size of lesions, membranous invasion and lateral cervical lymph node metastasis on the affected side were closely related ( P<0.05) . Multivariate regression analysis showed that male (OR=2.115, P=0.006) , age < 38 years old (OR=0.586, P=0.004) , multiple lesions on the affected side (OR=2.837, P=0.004) , lesions >7mm on the affected side (OR=1.762, P=0.002) and cervical lymph node metastasis on the affected side (OR=7.023, P<0.001) were independent predictors of LV-LNM in the central region of the affected side ( P<0.001) . The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) , sensitivity and specificity of LV-LNM predicted by the model were 0.839, 81.69% and 78.39%. The incidence of ipsilateral cervical lymph node metastasis in the affected central region of LV-LNM was 11.57 times higher than that of SV-LNM. Conclusion:PTC with male, age < 38 years old, multiple lesions on the affected side, lesion >7 mm and lateral cervical lymph node metastasis are prone to LV-LNM in the affected central region.
