Summary
This study looked at 314 patients with small, single thyroid cancers (1-3 cm) that had no signs of spread before surgery. Doctors planned to remove only half the thyroid, but checked lymph nodes during the operation. They found that over half of patients had cancer in those nodes, requiring removal of the entire thyroid. The study highlights the importance of checking lymph nodes to avoid a second surgery.
