In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, ranking seventh in the United States and fourth in China. Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common pathological type (about 85% to 90% of thyroid cancers), and lateral cervical lymph node metastasis can reach 0.6-37.5% at diagnosis. For papillary thyroid cancer with lateral cervical lymph node metastasis, the 2015 ATA Guidelines in the United States recommend surgical resection and neck lymph node dissection as the primary treatment. Traditional cervical lymph node dissection often leaves obvious scars in the neck, which seriously affects the postoperative quality of life of patients. The previous studies have shown that endoscopy-assisted surgery with external cervical approach can achieve oncologic effects similar to traditional open surgery in the treatment of N1b papillary thyroid cancer, and can obtain better
