Summary

This study tests whether a less extensive neck surgery (selective neck dissection) works as well as the standard more extensive surgery (modified neck dissection) for people with papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes in the side of the neck. About 250 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries. The main goal is to see if the less invasive approach can keep the cancer from coming back while improving quality of life.
