超声在诊断甲状腺乳头状癌被膜外侵犯中的研究进展

Ultrasonography in diagnosis of extrathyroidal extension of papillary thyroid carcinoma

甲状腺乳头状癌(papillary thyroid carcinoma,PTC)作为甲状腺癌最常见的病理类型,被膜外侵犯(extrathyroidal extension,ETE)发生率也较高,一旦发生则影响治疗和预后。目前,常规超声是诊断甲状腺疾病的首选影像学检查;超声造影凭借其能显示微血管的能力,已被广泛应用于甲状腺疾病的诊断与治疗过程;超声弹性成像是一类较为新颖的超声检查技术,能够反应病变组织的软硬程度。本文就不同的超声诊断技术在诊断PTC合并ETE中的研究进展进行综述。

Thyroid papillary carcinoma(PTC),as the most common pathological type of thyroid cancer,has a high incidence of extracapsular extension(ETE),which will affect the treatment and prognosis.At present,conventional ultrasound is the first choice for the diagnosis of thyroid diseases.Contrast-enhanced ultrasound has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases because of its ability to display microvessels.Ultrasonic elastography is a relatively novel ultrasound technique,and can reflect the soft and hard degree of the diseased tissue.This article reviews the research progress of different ultrasonic diagnostic techniques in the diagnosis of ETE of PTC.
