摘要
甲状腺乳头状癌（PTC）是最常见的甲状腺恶性肿瘤,预后良好.但颈部淋巴结转移却很常见,其中最常见的转移区域是颈部中央区（即Ⅵ区）.目前对于临床可疑或确定有颈淋巴结转移者,需行治疗性中央区颈淋巴结清扫术,国内外观点基本一致,然而对于cN0 PTC患者是否应该常规行预防性中央区颈淋巴结清扫术仍存较大争议.本文就PTC行预防性中央区颈淋巴结清扫术研究进展做一综述.
Papillary thyroid cancer （PTC） is the most common malignant neoplasm originating from the thyroid gland and has an excellent prognosis.But cervical lymph node metastases are common and the most common sites of metastases are the central lymph nodes of the neck （level Ⅵ）.While therapeutic central lymph node dissection for involved lymph nodes is needed in our nation and others,the controversial topic is whether routine prophylactic central lymph node dissection in patients without evidence of lymph node metastasis should be performed in patients with PTC.The author reviewed the research development of prophylactic central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer in the article.
