Abstract:
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is prone to lymph node metastasis in the central region of neck. However, the necessity of prophylactic central neck lymph node dissection (pCND) is still controversial. This paper reviews the construction of multi-dimensional risk stratification based on the actual situation of patients, and formulates different pCND plans after accurate assessment, to improve the quality of life of patients and to reduce complications and recurrence rate.
