| Abstract |
To investigate the clinicopathological features of recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). A retrospective analysis on clinical and pathological data of 34 patients with recurrent PTC was carried out. A total of 281 patients with non-recurrent PTC during the same time period were chosen as the control group. Patients were divided into three groups according to the pathological subtype. The number of patients belonging to Groups 1, 2, and 3 were 28, 154, and 133, respectively. 78 patients underwent partial or whole thyroidectomy, 151 cases underwent thyroidectomy combining neck regional lymph node dissection, and 86 patients underwent thyroidectomy combining modified or radical neck dissection. Univariate analysis showed that PTC recurrence was associated with tumor size, extrathyroid invasion, initial surgery approach, lymph node metastasis, and pathological subtype (P < 0.05). Patient age, gender, complication with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and multifocality were unrelated to PTC recurrence (P > 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that initial surgery approach and pathological subtype perform important functions in PTC recurrence (P < 0.001). Initial surgery approach presented a negative correlation with PTC recurrence (β = -0.320, OR = 0.726). The pathological subtype was also related to PTC recurrence (β = 0.923, OR = 2.517). PTC patients without neck dissection showed greater likelihood of postoperative recurrence. Patients with the tall cell, columnar cell, diffuse sclerosing, and oncocytic variants showed a higher propensity for PTC recurrence after operation compared with those who did not. Tumor volume, extrathyroid invasion, and multiple lymph node metastases at the time of initial operation were also significantly related to postoperative recurrence. Follow-up supervision must be enhanced after initial treatment to mitigate PTC recurrence in susceptible patients. Effective and standard treatments must be adopted immediately after the discovery of recurrence. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 July 2015.
All research outputs
#14,820,064
of 25,233,554 outputs
Outputs from Diagnostic Pathology
#355
of 1,188 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#127,110
of 268,932 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diagnostic Pathology
#40
of 82 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,233,554 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,188 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,932 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 82 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
