The diagnosis and treatment of locally advanced thyroid carcinoma are challenging. The challenge lies in the evaluation of the tumor scope and the formulation of an individualized treatment plan. Three-dimensional (3D) visualization has a wide range of applications in the field of medicine, although there are limited applications in thyroid cancer. We previously applied 3D visualization for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer. Through data collection, 3D modeling, and preoperative evaluation, we can obtain 3D information regarding the tumor outline, determine the extent of tumor invasion, and conduct adequate preoperative preparation and surgical risk assessment. This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of 3D visualization in locally advanced thyroid cancer. Computer-aided 3D visualization can be an effective method for accurate preoperative evaluation, the development of surgical methods, shortening the surgical time, and reducing the surgical risks. Furthermore, it can contribute to medical education and doctor-patient communication. We believe that the application of 3D visualization technology can improve outcomes and quality of life in patients with locally advanced thyroid cancer.
局部晚期甲状腺癌的诊断和治疗具有挑战性。挑战在于评估肿瘤范围和制定个体化治疗计划。三维（3D）可视化在医学领域有广泛的应用，尽管在甲状腺癌中应用有限。我们之前应用 3D 可视化来诊断和治疗甲状腺癌。通过数据收集、3D 建模和术前评估，我们可以获得有关肿瘤轮廓的 3D 信息，确定肿瘤侵犯的程度，并进行充分的术前准备和手术风险评估。本研究旨在证明 3D 可视化在局部晚期甲状腺癌中的可行性。计算机辅助 3D 可视化可以是一种有效的方法，用于准确的术前评估、手术方法的制定、缩短手术时间和降低手术风险。此外，它有助于医学教育和医患沟通。我们相信，3D 可视化技术的应用可以提高局部晚期甲状腺癌患者的治疗效果和生活质量。
