pubmed:abstractText |
Lymph node metastases (LNM) from medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) are common in adults and are a poor prognostic factor. Less is known about LNM in children, who often have hereditary forms of MTC. Guidelines recommend prophylactic thyroidectomy in early childhood, but randomized prospective trials are not feasible. We hypothesized that LNM is associated with poor prognosis in children.
