- Abstract
The relationship between extent of cervical lymphadenectomy along with the number of involved lymph nodes (LNs) removed and overall survival has not been well documented in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). This study investigates whether the overall number of LNs removed and the number of metastatic LNs are independent prognostic factors for overall survival.
