胸腺上皮性肿瘤成像的研究现状及进展

Status and development of imaging thymic epithelial tumors

胸腺上皮性肿瘤(TET)在临床工作中相对常见,尤其是自开展低剂量肺癌筛查以来,其发现越来越多。TET的生物学行为及病理学分型复杂,不同类型侵袭性程度不同,导致在制定临床治疗策略和预后评估上存在差异。因此,准确预测TET的侵袭性,甚至病理分型,对于临床有重要意义。多种影像检查手段能够发现TET,并各具优势,就其各自的诊断价值,尤其是新进展情况予以综述。

Thymic epithelial tumors（TET） are relatively commonly detected in daily work,especially since the launching of low-dose lung cancer screening.Biological behavior and histological types of TET are complex.Different types have different invasivities,and have differences in treatment strategy and predicting the clinical course and prognosis.Therefore,predicting invasivity of TET accurately,even pathological type,has an important clinical significance.TET can be easily detected with various imaging examinations,each imaging techinque has its own advantages.This review focuses on the different diagnosis values,especially on the latest progress of imaging TET.
