Abstract
Background: While numerous factors determine prognosis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), distant metastasis (M1) represents one of the most dire. Escalating nodal burden and aggressive histology may contribute to higher metastatic risk, but this relationship is poorly defined and challenging to anticipate. We evaluate the predictive impact of these histological features on predicting distant metastases at initial presentation. Methods: Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models of conventional and aggressive thyroid cancer variants (well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma [WDPTC], diffuse sclerosing variant [DSV], tall cell variant [TCV], poorly differentiated thyroid cancer [PDTC], and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma [ATC]) identified via U.S. cancer registry data were constructed to determine associations between M1 status and quantitative nodal burden. Associations between metastatic lymph node (LN) number and M1 disease were modeled using univariate and multivariable logistic regression with interaction terms, as well as a linear continuous probability model. Results: Overall, M1 prevalence at disease presentation was 3.6% (n?=?1717). When stratified by subtype, M1 prevalence varied significantly by histology (WDPTC [1.0%], DSV [2.3%], TCV [4.1%], PDTC [17.4%], ATC [38.4%] [p?10 LN+ [5.5%] [p?
