Compartment-Specific Nodal Recurrence in Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Evaluating the Role of Contralateral Prophylactic Central Neck Dissection

Compartment-Specific Nodal Recurrence in Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Evaluating the Role of Contralateral Prophylactic Central Neck Dissection

This multicenter study assesses recurrence patterns in medullary thyroid cancer, finding ipsilateral neck sites are the most common recurrence locations, with limited evidence supporting routine contralateral prophylactic central neck dissection in clinically node-negative patients.
