Characterization of the neoplastic potential of solitary solid thyroid lesions with Tc-99m-pertechnetate and Tc-99m-sestamibi scanning.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The extent of neck dissection (ND) appropriate for necks yielding clinical evidence of metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is controversial. The need for level IIb lymph node (LN) dissection is particularly uncertain in view of its association with postoperative shoulder dysfunction. In the prese...
