About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinicopathological pattern and surgical outcome of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) at Sohag University Hospitals. This will help improve local risk stratification, optimize surgical decision-making, and guide future management strategies for patients with PTC in this region.
