Role of Neck Dissection for Differentiated Thyroid CA
Joint Hospital Surgical Grand Round NDH
Dr. Alex TSANG
Background
Differentiated Thyroid CA refers to– Papillary thyroid CA– Follicular thyroid CA– Comprises almost 90% of all Thyroid CA
Papillary Thyroid CA
Papillary thyroid cancers (PTC) =77% of thyroid malignancies
Strong propensity for regional nodal involvement.
Recent analysis which included > 33,000 patients with PTC, reports a 22% incidence of lymphatic involvement at initial operation
Follicular Thyroid CA
Follicular thyroid cancers (FTC) less common Lower rate of lymphatic involvement In the same analysis only 2% with lymphatic
involvement

Risk Factors associated with LN Metastasis

Significance of LN Met
If LN Met +ve in initial OT– Locoregional Recurrence rate: higher
recurrence of DTC in 19% of patients with initially positive nodes and 2% in node-negative patients

Significance of LN Met
If LN Met +ve in initial OT– Distant Met: higher
In a series stratified by tumor size, 0.7% of patients initially T1-T3N0 had distant metastases at diagnosis and 2.9% eventually developed distant spread. For T1-T3N1 patients, 8.5% had systemic involvement at diagnosis, and 15.1% later developed systemic disease.

Significance of LN Met
If LN Met +ve in initial OT– Survival: inconclusive
Some studies showed no significant impact on survival if LN met +ve
Some studies showed worse long term survival (at least 14 years) if LN met +ve
So, knowing LN status helps to have more accurate staging which affect patients’ further management and prognosis.

Cervical Lymphatics Anatomy
Cervical lymphadenectomy of one or more lymph node groups
Selective Neck Dissection
Two subtypes commonly encounter in surgery for DTC:
– Lateral neck dissection Level II-V
– Central compartment neck dissection
Level VI

ALWAYS systemic compartment dissection for the involved compartment over berry-picking procedure

Benefits for prophylactic CCLND
unanticipated central metastases in 38% to 45% of patients with PTC
prevents compression or invasion of critical aerodigestive and neural structures
decreases lymphatic recurrence low levels of thyroglobulin which may
facilitate surveillance for recurrent disease
Drawback for prophylactic CCLND
Uncertain about effect on overall survival Higher potential surgical complications
– Significantly higher temporary hypoPTH.– When compare with re-op in recurrence patients
vs prophylatic CCLND, significantly more permanent RLN palsy.

Senario 1 Senario 2 Senario 3 Senario 4
Neck LN Dissection for FTC?
Senario 3– Therapeutic neck dissection is indicated
Senario 4– Not for prophylatics neck LN Dissection– Observation and re-operate if recurrence
as FTC had a lower risk of LN met
Conclusion
PTC– Therapeutic systemic functional compartment
dissection if LN met is +ve.– Prophylactic CCLND in high risk group in expert
hands. FTC
– Therapeutic systemic functional compartment dissection if LN met is +ve.
– NOT for prophylatic neck LN dissection.
