Abstract

Differentiated thyroid cancer is the mostcommon endocrine malignancy, and cervicallymph node metastasis is an important
determinant of staging, surgical planning,and recurrence risk. This study evaluated therelationship between radiological tumorcharacteristics, histopathological findings,neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and cervicallymph node metastasis in patients
