Surgery is often needed to diagnose thyroid cancer, but is also the initial therapeutic modality. Several current imaging techniques are important for preoperative risk stratification. By optimizing initial thyroidectomy and lymphadenectomy, accurate and appropriate imaging can help minimize operative morbidity and potentially reduce the risk of recurrent disease.
手术通常是诊断甲状腺癌所必需的,同时也是初始治疗方式。目前的几种成像技术对于术前风险分层很重要。通过优化初次甲状腺切除术和淋巴结清扫术,准确且恰当的成像有助于将手术发病率降至最低,并有可能降低疾病复发风险。
