Abstract:
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with cervical lymph node metastases depict poor prognosis. Ultrasound (US)-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (US-FNAC) showed certain limitations in diagnosis of PTC with cervical lymph node metastases, while no effective molecular marker for diagnosis of this disease has been found. US-FNAC combined with molecular markers are helpful to detecting cervical lymph nodes metastases of PTC. The relative research progresses were reviewed in this article.
