Abstract Background To investigate the association between postoperative lymph nodes (LNs) recurrence and distinct serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods This study included PTC patients who underwent total thyroidectomy (TT) with at least central neck dissection and then re-operated due to recurrence of LNs between January 2013 and June 2018. These patients were grouped by negative or positive serum Tg levels according to the American Thyroid Association guidelines. Results Of the 60 included patients, 49 underwent radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. Maximum unstimulated Tg (uTg) ≥ 0.2 ng/mL were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs (P = 0.027), and higher rate of metastatic LNs (P < 0.001). Serum-stimulated Tg (off-Tg) ≥ 1 ng/mL (P = 0.047) and unstimulated Tg (on-Tg) ≥ 0.2 ng/Ml (P = 0.013) were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs. Number of metastatic LNs ≥ 8 was an independent predictor for postoperative maximum uTg ≥ 0.2 ng/mL (OR = 8.767; 95% CI = 1.392–55.216; P = 0.021). Ratio of metastatic LNs ≥ 25% was an independent predictor for off-Tg ≥ 1 ng/mL (OR = 20.997; 95% CI = 1.649–267.384; P = 0.019). Conclusion Postoperative Tg-positive status was associated with larger size of recurrent LNs. Number of metastatic LNs ≥ 8 and ratio of metastatic LNs ≥ 25% were independent predicators for uTg-positive and off-Tg-positive status, respectively.

Abstract Purpose To investigate serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with lymph nodes (LNs) recurrence, thereby evaluating possible risk factors and structural features of LNs recurrence. Methods All the patients with primary PTC who underwent total thyroidectomy (TT) with central or lateral neck dissection and then re-operated due to LNs recurrence between January 2013 and June 2018 were included. Patients were subdivided groups by different Tg levels. Results This study included 60 patients with LNs recurrence. Of all, 49 patients underwent radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. Maximum unstimulated Tg (uTg) ≥ 0.2 ng/mL were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs (P = 0.027), higher possibility of diameters of recurrent LNs ≥ 25 mm (P = 0.023) and higher ratio of metastatic LNs (P < 0.001). Pre-RAI ablation serum-stimulated Tg (off-Tg) ≥ 1 ng/mL and unstimulated Tg detected at 1 week after RAI ablation (on-Tg) ≥ 0.2 ng/mL were associated with larger diameter of recurrent LNs and higher possibility of diameters of recurrent LNs ≥ 25 mm. Number of metastatic LNs ≥ 8 was an independent predictor for maximum uTg ≥ 0.2 ng/mL (OR = 8.767; 95% CI = 1.392–55.216; P = 0.021). Ratio of metastatic LNs ≥ 25% was an independent predictor for off-Tg ≥ 1 ng/mL (OR = 20.997; 95% CI = 1.649-267.384; P = 0.019). Conclusion Tg-positive was associated with larger size of recurrent LNs. Number of metastatic LNs ≥ 8 could independently predict maximum uTg-positive. Ratio of metastatic LNs ≥ 25% was an independent predicator for off-Tg-positive.
