2014, Surgery (United States)Citation Excerpt :The optimal treatment for PTC is still under debate, as is the management of occult lymphatic disease. Lymph node metastases are found in about 50% of patients affected by PTC32 and the presence of macrometastases at presentation increases the risk of locoregional recurrence.18,33-43 It is unclear, however, whether nodal metastases affect overall survival in patients with PTC, because it has been clearly shown only in elderly patients and those with bulky nodal disease.41,44-51
Management of Well-Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
2012, Otolaryngologic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Yet there are other studies showing that cervical node metastases have an independently significant effect. Harwood's group47 also found that when matching for age, nodal metastasis also resulted in a worse survival prognosis, especially in older populations. Another study by Scheumann and colleagues51 confirmed a decrease in survival for node-positive patients, even when controlling for age, tumor invasion, and distant metastasis.
