aIncluded in the Partelli (2016) systematic review (2); bNodal involvement as reported, allowance is made where reported for low rates of nodal sampling but the total percentage calculated is therefore a lower estimate; cIncludes familial syndromes; dAnalyses of national databases; not included in totals due to unreliable coding.

Asym, asymptomatic presentation; F/U, follow-up; M0, no distant metastases at surgery; R0, uninvolved surgical margin.
