Patterns of lymph node metastasis in level IIB and contralateral level VI for papillary thyroid carcinoma with pN1b and safety of low collar extended incision for neck dissection in level II

Patterns of lymph node metastasis in level IIB and contralateral level VI for papillary thyroid carcinoma with pN1b and safety of low collar extended incision for neck dissection in level II

Abstract Objective To explore relevant clinical factors of level IIB and contralateral level VI lymph node metastasis and evaluate the safety of low-collar extended incision (LCEI) for lymph node dissection in level II for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with pN1b. Method A retrospective analysis...
