超声新技术预测甲状腺乳头状癌颈部淋巴结转移的研究现状与展望

Research Status and Prospect of New Ultrasound Technology in Predicting Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis of Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma

甲状腺乳头状癌(PTC)是甲状腺癌所有病理类型中最常见的,占比高达90%,多为惰性肿瘤,但仍有少数具有侵袭性,颈部淋巴结转移(LNM)就是其侵袭性的重要表现之一。术前准确预测颈部LNM的情况,对治疗方案的选择和预后评估有着重要的意义。超声新技术是一种无创、便捷、无辐射的检查方式,对于预测PTC的颈部LNM有着重要的作用。本文就超声新技术预测PTC颈部LNM的研究现状进行相关综述和展望。

Papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)is the most common pathological type of thyroid cancer,accounting for 90%.Most cases of PTC are inert tumors,while a few are invasive.Cervical lymph node metastasis is one of the major manifestations of invasive PTC.Preoperative accurate prediction of cervical lymph node metastasis is of great significance for the selection of therapeutic regimen and the evaluation of prognosis.New ultrasound technology is a non-invasive,convenient,and radiation-free examination method,playing a key role in predicting the cervical lymph node metastasis of PTC.This paper reviews the research status and makes an outlook on new ultrasound technology in predicting cervical lymph node metastasis of PTC.
