甲状腺乳头状癌淋巴结转移相关危险因素研究进展

Research Progress of Lymph Node Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

甲状腺乳头状癌(PTC)是最常见的甲状腺恶性肿瘤,其肿瘤转移途径以颈部淋巴结转移较为常见。大部分PTC患者预后良好,但是仍有小部分患者较早发生颈部淋巴结转移,并有较高的远处器官转移率和病死率。因此,术前明确影响PTC淋巴结转移的相关危险因素对疾病的术前诊断、手术方式的选择、预后评估、减少并发症、改善患者生活质量具有重要的指导意义。目前对影响PTC淋巴结转移的危险因素的研究结果不尽相同,其具体结果还需更深入的研究。

Papillary thyroid carcinoma（ PTC） is the most common thyroid malignancy,and cervical lymph node metastasis is the common metastasis pathway. Most of the PTC patients have a good prognosis,but there are still some patients with early cervical lymph node metastases and high distant metastasis rates and high mortality. Therefore,the preoperative diagnosis of PTC lymph node metastasis related risk factors has great guiding significance for the preoperative diagnosis of the disease,choice of surgical methods,prognosis evaluation,reducing complications and improving the quality of life of the patients. Current results of studies on the risk factors affecting PTC lymph node metastasis are inconsistent,and the specific results need further research.
