We categorized the patients into 5 groups according to the subtypes of PTC (conventional, aggressive, nonaggressive, conventional with aggressive, and conventional with nonaggressive). We compared the patient characteristics and clinical features among the groups and analyzed them statistically.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Significant differences among the groups were observed based on the PTC subtypes.
