EICHORCondition: Papillary Thyroid Cancer · Sponsor: Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University
The incidence of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has been on the rise in recent years, and 20%-50% of PTC patients will have lymph node metastasis. Lymph node involvement in PTC patients is usually related to the recurrence of PTC after surgery, and 30% of patients recur without lymph node dissection, with the risk of central cervical lymph node metastasis being the greatest, so it seems to be a good choice to perform lymph node dissection on patients after thyroidectomy, but in fact, there are controversies at home and abroad as to whether to perform lymph node dissection or not. The 2021 Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer state that prophylactic central lymph node dissection (PCND) may increase the incidence of postoperative complications, but due to the high metastatic rate of PTC and the ability of PCND to effectively prevent recurrence and reoperation, countries in the East Asian region perform prophylactic lymph node dissection on almost all patients with PTC. However, for more countries in Europe and the United States, performing PCND has become a non-essential, individualized option. The aim of this study is to collect multifactorial data from more than 1,000 patients who have undergone previous thyroidectomy from 2021 to 2023, and to develop a novel scoring scale that can be used to individualize patients' scores based on a variety of factors prior to surgery, so that patients can be …
