Nomogram to predict the prognostic value of tumor deposits for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tumor deposits (TDs), nodules in the peritumoral adipose tissue with no architectural residue of lymph node, have previously been described in colorectal adenocarcinomas with poor prognosis. However, the significance of TD has not been fully investigated in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Method

We retrospectively enrolled 541 patients undergoing surgery between 2015 and 2021. The patients were classified into two groups according to TD status (TD vs non-TD), and the clinicopathologic characteristics and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared. Associations of TD presence with other clinicopathologic factors were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the primary
