BACKGROUND: Preoperative evaluation of the metastasis status of lateral lymph nodes (LNs) in papillary thyroid cancer is challenging. Strategies for using deep learning to diagnosis of lateral LN metastasis require additional development and testing....
INTRODUCTION: Ultrasonography (US) features of papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs) are used to select nodules for biopsy due to their association with tumor behavior. However, the molecular biological mechanisms that lead to the characteristic US featur...
OBJECTIVE: Based on ultrasound (US) images, this study aimed to detect and quantify calcifications of thyroid nodules, which are regarded as one of the most important features in US diagnosis of thyroid cancer, and to further investigate the value of...
BACKGROUND: Although transoral thyroidectomy has become popular in thyroid surgery, transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) has only been successfully applied in a very small number of medical centers worldwide. In this video, we show a three-port TOR...
OBJECTIVES: To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) preoperatively in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) based on CT images.
OBJECTIVE: Central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) is a predictor of poor prognosis for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients. The options for surgeon operation or follow-up depend on the state of CLNM while accurate prediction is a challenge for r...
BACKGROUND: Few highly accurate tests can diagnose central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Genetic sequencing of tumor tissue has allowed the targeting of certain genetic variants for personalized cancer therapy develo...
