Recurrence and postoperative quality of life after surgical resection of unilateral cT1-T3N1bM0 papillary thyroid carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Determining the optimal extent of surgery and improving postoperative quality of life for patients with papillary thyroid cancer has been an important challenge. Here, we evaluated postoperative quality of life after cT1-T3N1bM0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) to explore the optimal scope of surgical resection.

Methods

In this study, we investigated surgical outcomes in patients diagnosed with unilateral cT1-T3N1bM0 PTC, who were treated at Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January 2008 to December 2018. To achieve this, we divided the patients into two distinct groups based on the extent of surgery they received: the non-total thyroidectomy group (group A) and the total thyroidectomy group (group B).
