Can ratio of the biggest tumor diameter to total tumor diameter be a new parameter in the differential diagnosis of agressive and favorable multifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinoma?

Highlights • The ratio of primary tumor diameter to total tumor diameter (TDR) in PTMC was evaluated. • TDR was lower in patients with capsular and lymphovascular invasion, ETE and LNM. • TDR might be helpful for the detection of aggressive behavior in multifocal PTMCs.
