Abstract
This meta-analysis suggested that two tumor foci should be regarded as the predictive factor of central lymph node metastasis, but the role of it was less important than three or more than three tumor foci. Understanding the role of two tumor foci for predicting central lymph node metastasis may help clinicians make an optimal decision of treatment and the extent of surgery for multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma.
