Trial Information

The Effectiveness of Prophylactic Selective Lateral Neck Dissection in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Patients With Central Neck Metastasis


The lymphatic drainage pattern of the thyroid is uniform and consistent, and therefore,
metastatic patterns are relatively predictable. Initial nodal metastasis in PTC usually
occurs in the paratracheal and pretracheal nodes in level VI of the central compartment of
the ipsilateral neck and spreads to the lateral cervical lymph nodes. Macroscopic skip
metastases to the lateral compartment of the neck in the absence of central disease are
uncommon.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Papillary thyroid carcinoma with central neck metastasis

- No evidence of lateral neck metastasis as determined by high-resolution neck
ultrasonography and computed tomography

Exclusion Criteria:

- History of previous thyroid operation

- Isthmic thyroid lesion
