Impact of intraoperative frozen section pathology on the treatment outcome of unilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and its influencing factors-a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma have a good prognosis. Excessive resection of thyroid and cervical lymph nodes is an important reason for affecting the quality of life of patients after surgery. Intraoperative rapid frozen pathological examination is an important step in the development of a surgical plan for thyroid cancer (especially micropapillary carcinoma); however, whether it affects the treatment outcome remains unclear.

Methods

The clinicopathological data of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) patients who underwent surgery in our center from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with unilateral low-risk PTMC who underwent radical surgery were selected as the main research subjects. The negative resu
