The persistent tumor should be localized precisely and treated with either surgery or external beam radiation treatment because it will gain no benefit from 131I treatment.4 However, recurrent or metastatic tumor is seldom localized precisely with anatomic imaging modalities including ultrasound, ...
In IHC studies utilizing paraffin-embedded thyroid tumor specimens, two reports have compared the evaluation of Gal-3 nuclear staining and cytoplasmic staining for their ability to diagnose thyroid cancer.100, 101 In a study reported by Weinberger et al on a cohort of papillary thyroid carcinoma (...

The current thyroid ultrasound relies heavily on the experience and skills of the sonographer and the expertise of the radiologist, and the process is physically and cognitively exhausting. In this paper, we report a fully autonomous robotic ultrasound s
Indeed, in a Japanese series including biopsy-proven papillary thyroid microcarcinomas that were not surgically removed, 6.4% showed an increase in tumor size of 3 mm or more by ultrasound on 5-year follow-up, and 1.4% showed evidence for lymph node metastases.24 Collectively, these data ...
Fig. 1 Tumor size by method of diagnosis Solis-Pazmino et al. BMC Cancer (2021) 21:42 Page 4 of 10 Mechanism of detection The methods of TC diagnosis were: 54.2% incidental (93.5% by ultrasound, 5.3% histology, and 1.2% unrelated test) and 45.8% non-incidental (palpable and symptom-...
This serial measurement of serum Tg in conjunction with ultrasound examination has proved to be very effective and is the mainstay in the detection of early tumor recurrence. Most patients are successfully free of disease after their surgery, but a significant number (approximately 15%) have ...
Thyroid nodules are the most common endocrine tumor, with population-based screening studies identifying clinically palpable nodules in ∼5% of adults, while ultrasound and autopsy studies demonstrate nodules in more than 50% of women and 20% of men over age 50.1 Thyroid cancer, which usually ...
