Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of cervical lymph nodes was carried out in 22 patients with suspected metastatic involvement with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTS). It was followed by cytopathological examination of aspirates and assay of of thyrocalcitonin (TCT) in fine-needle washings. TCT determinations proved highly informative as well as significantly high in all seven cases of MTS involvement (26-8,484.87 pg/ml, mean 2,208 +/- 1,722 pg/ml).
对22例疑似甲状腺髓样癌（MTS）转移累及的患者进行了颈部淋巴结细针穿刺活检。随后对穿刺物进行了细胞病理学检查，并对细针冲洗液中的降钙素（TCT）进行了检测。在所有7例MTS累及的病例中，TCT测定结果显示出高度的信息价值，且显著升高（26 - 8484.87 pg/ml，平均2208±1722 pg/ml）。
