Abstract:
There is considerable variability in the surgical approach to differentiated thyroid cancer regarding the decision to explore and remove central or central and lateral compartment lymph nodes. Much as sentinel lymph node sampling has improved the decision to remove axillary nodes for breast cancer, vital dye and lymphoscintigraphy with lymph node sampling may direct the surgical approach to differentiated thyroid cancer.
