分化型甲状腺癌肺转移临床诊断研究进展

Research Progress on Clinical Diagnosis for Lung Metastases from Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma

分化型甲状腺癌(DTC)肺转移是DTC较常见的转移性疾病,因其起病隐匿且发展缓慢,临床诊断较为困难。本文就可能检测出DTC肺转移的诊断手段如血清学检查、核素显像及其他影像学检查等在DTC肺转移早期诊断、复发及疗效评价等方面的研究现状与进展进行了简要综述,以期促进分化型甲状腺癌肺转移诊断水平的进一步提高。

Lung metastases are more common in metastatic disease in differentiated thyroid carcinoma （DTC）. Because of its insidious onset and slow development, clinical diagnosis is relatively difficult. Some possible diagnostic methods for detecting the lung metastasis of DTC including serological examination, radionuclide imaging and other medical imaging patterns are discussed in this paper. The progress and the current situation about investigation of those modalities which are in the early diagnosis, recurrent and clinical evaluation for the lung metastasis of DTC are briefly reviewed. Therefore, it is expected to promote DTC with lung metastasis to a higher diagnostic level.
