Abstract
BACKGROUND: The presence of lateral lymph node metastases (LNM) in paediatric patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is an independent risk factor for recurrence. We aimed to identify risk factors and establish a prediction model for lateral LNM before surgery in children and adolescents with PTC.
