甲状腺乳头状癌患者350例(男性85例,女性265例;其中单侧单发癌灶212例)。分析患者的临床病理学特征,通过单因素、多因素分析寻找淋巴结转移的危险因素。结果:350例患者中共出现淋巴结转移138例(39.4%),大量淋巴结转移20例(5.7%),在单侧单发癌灶且行双侧腺体切除联合双侧中央区淋巴结清扫的169例患者中,24例出现对侧中央区淋巴结转移(14.2%)。淋巴结转移的危险因素的单因素分析中,肿物大小小于等于1 cm和大于1 cm(33.6% vs 58.5%,P0.01)、超声肿物有钙化和无钙化者(31.7% vs 43.7%,P=0.03)淋巴结转移差异有统计学意义;多因素分析中,非微小癌是淋巴结转移的独立危险因素(OR=2.792,P0.001)。出现大量淋巴结转移危险因素的单因素分析中,女性和男性(3.8% vs 11.8%,P=0.012)、年龄小于40岁和大于等于40岁(10.7% vs 3.4%,P=0.006)、肿物大小小于等于1 cm和大于1 cm(3.4% vs 13.4%,P=0.002)、超声肿物低回声和非低回声(13.9% vs 4.8%,P=0.026)者在有无大量淋巴结转移上差异有统计学意义;多因素分析中,男性(OR=5.152,P=0.002)、非微小癌(OR=5.712,P=0.001)、年龄小于40岁(OR=3.959,P=0.006)是大量淋巴结转移的独立危险因素。男性(OR=3.105,P=0.022)、非微小癌(OR=3.863,P=0.008)是单侧单发癌灶对侧中央区淋巴结转移的独立危险因素,其对侧中央区淋巴结转移率分别为26.5%、26.1%。结论:cN
Background and purpose: Pathological lymph node metastasis (LNM) is not rare in clinical lymph node negative (cN
0
) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The aim of this study was to investigate
the risk factors of LNM
especially of high volume LNM (more than 5 metastatic lymph nodes) and contralateral central compartment LNM
in cN
0
PTC. Methods: Medical records of 350 PTC patients (265 female
85 male
212 patients with solitary lesion in unilateral lobe) were reviewed. All operations of these patients were performed by one surgical team. The clinical pathological data were collected
and univariate and multivariate analysis was performed. Results: LNM was confirmed in 138 patients (39.4%) and 20 patients had high volume LNM. In 169 patients with solitary lesion in unilateral lobe with total thyroidectomy and bilateral central neck dissection
24 patients had contralateral metastasis (14.2%). In univariate analysis
tumor size (58.5% in 1 cm vs 33.6% in ≤1 cm) and tumor with calcification in preoperational ultrasonography (43.7% with vs 31.7% without) showed significant difference in prevelance of LNM. In multivariate analysis
tumor size 1 cm (OR=2.792) was the independent risk factor of LNM. Gender (3.8% in male vs 11.8% in female)
age (10.7% 40 years vs 3.4% ≥40 years )
tumor size(13.4% in 1 cm vs 3.4% in ≤1 cm) and tumor with low echo in preoperational ultrasonography (13.9% with vs 4.8% without) showed significant difference in univariate analysis of high volume LNM. Male (OR=5.152)
tumor size 1 cm (OR=5.712) and age 40 years (OR=3.959) were confirmed as independent risk factors of high volume LNM. Male (OR=3.105) and tumor size 1 cm (OR=3.863) were also demonstrated as independent risk factors of contralateral LNM in patients with solitary lesion in unilateral lobe
the prevalence of LNM were 26.5% in male and 26.1% in tumor size 1 cm
respectively. Conclusion: LNM was not “rare” in cN
0
PTC patients. Prophylactic central neck dissection should be performed in cN
0
patients with tumor size 1 cm. For cN
0
microcarcinoma
more active surgical treatment may be considered in male and young patients.
