Correlative factors of lymph node metastasis in central region and cervical region of papillary thyroid carcinoma
LU Xiu-bo
Abstract：Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of endocrine tumors.The incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing in recent years.Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) accounts for about 95％ of all thyroid cancers,with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounting for more than 90％ of DTC.Most PTCs grew slowly,but cervical lymph node metastasis occurred early.Neck lymph node metastasis is the main reasons for the high recurrence rate and low survival rate of thyroid cancer patients.Therefore,it is very important to explore the risk factors of lymph node metastasis.The article analyzed the risks of lymph nodes metastasis by reviewing the related literature.The results show that tumor diameter,age,gender,extrathyroid extension,BRAFV600E mutation are the risks factor for lymph node metastasis of lateral and central neck.
