Article Synopsis
- A study in Taizhou, China, examined the willingness to pay (WTP) for a COVID-19 booster vaccine among cancer patients, involving 354 respondents, with 256 completing the survey.
- Approximately 70% of participants were willing to pay for the booster, with most willing to contribute between 1-99 CNY, though about 50% expressed hesitancy towards the vaccine.
- The findings indicate that hesitant cancer patients were less willing to pay for the booster dose, highlighting the need for health education to reduce vaccine hesitancy and improve vaccination rates.
The utility of sentinel Lymph node biopsy in the lateral neck in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Background: Regional lymph node metastases (LNMs) are very common in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and associate with locoregional recurrence. The appropriate management of cervical lymph nodes is very important. Therefore, this study evaluated the application of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in the lateral neck in PTC patients.

This study aimed to investigate the predictive factors for occult contralateral carcinoma and whether DLN metastasis could predict it.
Methods: A total of 148 patients with unilateral PTC and contralateral benign nodules who were treated with a near-total thyroidectomy or TT at a single institution between August 2018 and April 2020 were enrolled.
Background: The value of prophylactic central neck dissection (PCND) for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with clinically evident lateral cervical lymph node metastases (cN1b) remains unclear. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of PCND.
Methods: A comprehensive systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library and Embase databases up to September 2021 to identify eligible studies.
Breast carcinoma retroperitoneal metastasis is rare. The clinical symptoms of this disease are always non-specific. Laboratory tests are not always helpful for diagnosis and evaluation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The decision to perform a total thyroidectomy (TT) for unilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) with nodules in the contralateral lobe remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of contralateral carcinomas that are preoperatively misdiagnosed as benign.
Methods: From October 2011 to October 2015, a total of 347 patients with unilateral PTMC and contralateral benign nodules who were treated with a TT at a single institution were enrolled.
