Wang J, et al. - Researchers used the 1998–2013 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database to investigate if younger papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients displayed higher rates of lymph node positivity (LN+). They assessed PTC patients who had at least 1 lymph node evaluated. This study included 8,386 (18.2%) patients aged ≤30 years, 10,971 (23.8%) patients aged 31–40 years, 11,646 (25.3%) patients aged 41–50 years, 8,596 (18.7%) patients aged 51–60 years, and 6,478 (14.1%) patients aged >60 years. Irrespective of T stage, an increased tendency for LN+ was observed among younger PTC patients. This revelation could assist surgeons to choose the optimal treatment for younger PTC patients.
