Predictive factors of level IIb lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Residual tumor size after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an important consideration in surgical planning. We examined the accuracy of the combination of mammography and sonography in predicting pathologic residual tumor size. METHODS:Tumor size was evaluated by physical examination, mammography, and sonography...
