Background: The International Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Grading System (IMTCGS) is a newly established grading system for medullary thyroid carcinoma and is predictive of disease-specific outcomes. When compared to low-grade tumor patients, patients with high-grade tumors have worse locoregional recurrence rates and overall survival. We aimed to investigate how tumor grade impacts neck lymph node burden and post-resection recurrence patterns in MTC. Me...
