甲状腺微小乳头状癌外科治疗进展

Research progress in the surgical treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma

甲状腺癌是人体内分泌系统最常见的恶性肿瘤。甲状腺微小癌定义为结节直径≤1 cm的甲状腺癌。近年来,甲状腺癌在世界范围内发病率呈明显上升趋势。随着高分辨率超声广泛应用,术前诊断甲状腺微小癌的比率越来越高。临床中对甲状腺微小癌原发灶及转移灶的外科处理,国内外存在一定差异。相对于传统的外科手术,一些新的手术方法如超声引导下经皮消融术等逐渐应用于甲状腺微小乳头状癌的外科治疗。本研究对甲状腺微小乳头状癌的外科治疗进展进行综述。

Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the human endocrine system. A papillary thyroid microcarci-noma （PTMC） is usually defined as a papillary thyroid tumor that is less than 10 mm in diameter. The incidence of thyroid cancers has obviously increased in recent years. The surgical treatment of PTMC differs in China and overseas. Aside from conventional surgery, novel surgical methods, such as ultrasound-guided percutaneous ablation, have been used for the surgical treatment of PTMC. This arti-cle mainly discusses the research progress in the surgical treatment of PTMC.
