Original Source: Indication and Extent of Cervical Lymph Node Dissection in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma.
INTRODUCTION: Indication and extent of lymph node dissection in differentiated thyroid carcinoma are still subject to controversy. The overall favourable prognosis, low study numbers and the different biological features of papillary and follicular carcinoma lead to few evidence-based recommendations and a low level of evidence. The different therapeutic and operative strategies are illustrated on the principles of evidence-based medicine. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A literature search was carried out in Medline...
