Abstract

Thyroid carcinoma is the commonest primary endocrine-related malignancy. Despite this, the cancer-specific mortality remains low with an overall 10-year survival above 90%.With a diagnosis of papillary carcinoma, 40% to 60% of patients will develop nodal metastasis. Recurrent disease after curative treatment of DTC remains a major cause of patient morbidity and represents a management challenge for clinicians.There is considerable debate regarding elective nodal dissection in patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Actually is one of the most controversial surgical subjects in head and neck malignancy in the recent times.
