Does number of lymph nodes removed during modified radical neck dissection for papillary thyroid cancer influence lateral neck recurrence?
Recurrence of papillary thyroid cancer after modified radical neck dissection is unrelated to the number of lymph nodes removed. This study suggests that attempts to maximize the number of lymph nodes removed during modified radical neck dissection for papillary thyroid cancer may not be necessary.
In active IBD mucosa with an intact epithelium, luminally directed migration of lamina propria cells is restricted mainly to PMNs. After loss of the epithelium, other cell types also migrate into the lumen via numerous, large, basement membrane pores.
