Fig. 1From: Analysis of risk factors and prognosis in differentiated thyroid cancer with focus on minimal extrathyroidal extensionBar charts showing the number of patients with nodal and remote metastases at initial diagnosis separately for patients with tumors showing minimal extrathyroidal extension and for patients with tumor confined to the thyroid gland. No statistically significant differences regarding the presence of initial N1- (p = 0.62) or M1-disease were observed among groups (p = 0.28). TCT: tumor confined to the thyroid gland; M-ETE: tumor showing minimal extrathyroidal extensionBack to article page
