Abstract:
Objective:To explore the value of color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) combined with shear wave elastography (SWE) in the diagnosis of thyroid micropapillary carcinoma (PTMC).Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively collected including 51 patients with PTMC (study group) and 49 patients with benign thyroid nodules (control group) who treatment in Maanshan 17 Metallurgical Hospital from October 2020 to December 2022. The clinical data, serum tumor markers, CDUS quantitative parameters, and SWE quantitative parameters were compared between the two groups, the correlation between CDUS, SWE quantitative parameters and serum tumor markers were analyzed by Pearson test, and the diagnostic value of CDUS, SWE quantitative parameters were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve.Results:The levels of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), thyroglobulin (TG), galactose hemagglutinin-3 (Gal-3), resistance index (RI), peak systolic flow velocity (PSV), elasticity modulus minimum (E min), elasticity modulus mean (E mean), and elasticity modulus maximum (E max) in the study group were higher than those in the control group: (28.76 ± 4.29) μg/L vs. (15.73 ± 2.96) μg/L, (117.53 ± 25.17) μg/L vs. (49.85 ± 9.64) μg/L, (8.31 ± 2.43) μg/L vs. (3.50 ± 0.82) μg/L, 0.85 ± 0.21 vs. 0.54 ± 0.13, (44.18 ± 8.26) cm/s vs. (22.05 ± 6.49) cm/s, (15.80 ± 1.94) kPa vs. (12.97 ± 1.58) kPa, (38.02 ± 10.39) kPa vs. (23.16 ± 7.83) kPa, (60.13 ± 19.41) kPa vs. (34.65 ± 11.87) kPa, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). In patients with PTMC, the results of Pearson test showed that, RI, PSV, E min, E mean, and E max were positively correlated with serum CEA, TG, and Gal-3 levels ( P<0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the combined diagnosis of PTMC by RI, PSV, E min, E mean, and E max was 0.937. Conclusions:CDUS combined with SWE can provide reliable reference for clinical diagnosis of PTMC.
