Abstract Purpose To investigate serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with lymph nodes (LNs) recurrence, thereby evaluating possible risk factors and structural features of LNs recurrence. Methods All the patients with primary PTC who underwent total thyroidectomy (TT) with central or lateral neck dissection and then re-operated due to LNs recurrence between January 2013 and June 2018 were included. Patients were subdivided groups by different Tg levels. Results This study included 60 patients with LNs recurrence. Of all, 49 patients underwent radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. Maximum unstimulated Tg (uTg) ≥ 0.2 ng/mL were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs (P = 0.027), higher possibility of diameters of recurrent LNs ≥ 25 mm (P = 0.023) and higher ratio of metastatic LNs (P < 0.001). Pre-RAI ablation serum-stimulated Tg (off-Tg) ≥ 1 ng/mL and unstimulated Tg detected at 1 week after RAI ablation (on-Tg) ≥ 0.2 ng/mL were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs and higher possibility of diameters of recurrent LNs ≥ 25 mm. Number of metastatic LNs ≥ 8 was an independent predictor for maximum uTg ≥ 0.2 ng/mL (OR = 8.767; 95% CI = 1.392–55.216; P = 0.021). Ratio of metastatic LNs ≥ 25% was an independent predictor for off-Tg ≥ 1 ng/mL (OR = 20.997; 95% CI = 1.649-267.384; P = 0.019). Conclusion Tg-positive was associated with larger size of recurrent LNs. Number of metastatic LNs ≥ 8 could independently predict maximum uTg-positive. Ratio of metastatic LNs ≥ 25% was an independent predicator for off-Tg-positive.

Abstract Purpose: To investigate serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients, thereby evaluating possible risk factors and structural features of lymph nodes (LNs) recurrence.Patients and Methods: All the patients with primary PTC who underwent total thyroidectomy (TT) with central or lateral neck dissection and then re-operated due to LNs recurrence between January 2013 and June 2018 were included. Patients were subdivided groups by different Tg levels. Results: This study included 60 patients with LNs recurrence. Of all, 49 patients underwent radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. Maximum unstimulated Tg (uTg) ≥ 0.2 ng/mL were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs (P = 0.027), higher possibility of diameters of recurrent LNs ≥ 25mm (P = 0.023) and higher ratio of metastatic LNs (P < 0.001). Pre-RAI ablation serum-stimulated Tg (off-Tg) ≥ 1ng/mL and unstimulated Tg detected at 1 week after RAI ablation (on-Tg) ≥ 0.2 ng/mL were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs and higher possibility of diameters of recurrent LNs ≥ 25mm. Number of metastatic LNs ≥ 8 was an independent predictor for maximum uTg ≥ 0.2 ng/mL (OR = 8.767; 95% CI =1.392-55.216; P = 0.021). Ratio of metastatic LNs ≥ 25% was an independent predictor for off-Tg ≥ 1 ng/mL (OR = 20.997; 95% CI =1.649-267.384; P = 0.019). Conclusion: Tg-positive was associated with larger size of recurrent LNs. Number of metastatic LNs ≥8 could independently predict maximum uTg-positive.

Abstract Background To investigate the association between postoperative lymph nodes (LNs) recurrence and distinct serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods This study included PTC patients who underwent total thyroidectomy (TT) with at least central neck dissection and then re-operated due to recurrence of LNs between January 2013 and June 2018. These patients were grouped by negative or positive serum Tg levels according to the American Thyroid Association guidelines. Results Of the 60 included patients, 49 underwent radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. Maximum unstimulated Tg (uTg) ≥ 0.2 ng/mL were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs (P = 0.027), and higher rate of metastatic LNs (P < 0.001). Serum-stimulated Tg (off-Tg) ≥ 1 ng/mL (P = 0.047) and unstimulated Tg (on-Tg) ≥ 0.2 ng/Ml (P = 0.013) were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs. Number of metastatic LNs ≥ 8 was an independent predictor for postoperative maximum uTg ≥ 0.2 ng/mL (OR = 8.767; 95% CI = 1.392–55.216; P = 0.021). Ratio of metastatic LNs ≥ 25% was an independent predictor for off-Tg ≥ 1 ng/mL (OR = 20.997; 95% CI = 1.649–267.384; P = 0.019). Conclusion Postoperative Tg-positive status was associated with larger size of recurrent LNs. Number of metastatic LNs ≥ 8 and ratio of metastatic LNs ≥ 25% were independent predicators for uTg-positive and off-Tg-positive status, respectively.

Primary thyroid carcinoma after thyroid ablation by radioactive iodine is rare. We present a very rare condition of lateral apparent papillary thyroid carcinoma eight years after receiving radioactive iodine for thyrotoxicosis, which led to complete anatomical and functional involution of the thyroid gland.

Background: Although lymph-node metastases are common in papillary thyroid cancer, there is considerable debate concerning the use of routine prophylactic lymph-node group VI dissection for all patients undergoing total thyroidectomy. This study was identification the complications and the rate of recurrence of total thyroidectomy plus lymph node group VI dissection in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients. Materials and methods: A prospective study was conducted on 60 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. They underwent total thyroidectomy with or without lymph node group VI dissection. Evaluation of postoperative complications and early recurrence rate /distant metastasis after 2 years. Results: The incident of transient hypoparathyroidism in the grouptotal thyroidectomy with or without lymph node group VI dissection respectively 13.3% and 6.7%. Neck lymph node dissection group VI helps detect 40.9% of cases of metastatic lymph nodes clinically undetectable. Neck lymph node recurrence rate in patients with lymph node group VI dissection is lower than group without dissection (3.3% versus 23.3%). Conclusions: Lymph nodes group VIdissection in preventive treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma should be done. Key words: PTC, lymph-node group VI dissection
