  Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of BRAF V600E mutation for the persistence of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) after total thyroidectomy and routine central neck dissection. Patients and Methods We collect the clinicopathological data of 288 PTC patients with total thyroidectomy (TT) and routine central neck dissection (CND), and analyzed the relationship between BRAFV600E mutation status and the rate of elevated non-stimulated thyroglobulin (NSTg) value. And we also collect the clinicopathological data of 370 PTC patients who needed radio iodine ablation(RIA) after TT and routine CND, and analyzed the relationship between BRAFV600E mutation status and the rate of elevated stimulated Tg (STg)value before RIA. The clinicopathological data included gender, age at diagnosis, multifocality, bilaterality, tumor size, extrathyroidal invasion, and lymph nod.. View More»
