To identify the risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) and the feasibility of prophylactic central lymph node dissection.
The characteristics of 1107 patients were extracted and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis. The relationship between the central lymph node dissection (CLND) and lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) was analyzed using the correlation analysis.
The probability of CLNM was closely related to the male gender, age <55, and the increase of tumor size. Those patients with an increase in tumor size and CLNM were extremely prone to LLNM. Also, LLNM was more likely to happen in those with the more positive central lymph nodes. Routine prophylactic central lymph node dissection (P-CLND) did not increase the risk of complications.
P-CLND should be considered as a reasonable surgical treatment for PTC.
确定颈淋巴结转移(CLNM)的危险因素以及预防性中央淋巴结清扫的可行性。
提取并分析1107例患者的特征。采用单因素和多因素分析来确定与淋巴结转移相关的危险因素。使用相关性分析来分析中央淋巴结清扫(CLND)与侧方淋巴结转移(LLNM)之间的关系。
CLNM的概率与男性、年龄<55岁以及肿瘤大小增加密切相关。肿瘤大小增加且发生CLNM的患者极易发生LLNM。此外,中央淋巴结阳性越多的患者越容易发生LLNM。常规预防性中央淋巴结清扫(P-CLND)不会增加并发症风险。
P-CLND应被视为甲状腺乳头状癌(PTC)合理的手术治疗方式。
