Abstract

ABSTRACT Thyroid cancers frequently metastasize to neck nodes. However, most of these are occult micrometastases with no impact on survival, while only a small percentage have clinically apparent neck nodes. The impact of nodal metastases on overall survival is very low, as compared to other head-neck sites and pathologies. Hence the surgical management of neck nodes has to be balanced with the likely morbidity of these procedures. This narrative review deals with the management of neck nodal metastasis of well differentiated thyroid cancers.
