Abstract:
Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common malignant tumor of the endocrine glands and accounts to 3% of the total structure of oncological morbidity. Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common histological variant of thyroid malignancies. It accounts for about 85% of all cases of thyroid cancer. Despite good postoperative results and excellent survival compared to many other malignancies, tumor metastases to the paratracheal lymph nodes are quite common. This review of the literature considers the current personalized approach to patients with papillary thyroid cancer and current aspects influencing the management of patients with PTC.
