Abstract:
The incidence of thyroid cancer keeps rising globally,with the majority being papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC),which has a favorable prognosis.However,some aggressive PTCs exhibit different clinical behaviors and higher mortality risks,with the growth rate surpassing that of well-differentiated PTC and undifferentiated cancers.Therefore,achieving precise diagnosis and treatment of thyroid carcinoma presents a significant challenge.Photoacoustic imaging is a molecular imaging technology that integrates optical imaging and ultrasound,providing imaging information on structure,function,and molecules.Moreover,it can utilize exogenous contrast agents to realize tumor treatment,such as photothermal therapy,serving as a promising technology for precise diagnosis and treatment of thyroid carcinoma.Researchers both domestically and internationally have explored the application of photoacoustic imaging in the precise diagnosis and treatment of thyroid tumors.This article reviews the research progress,elucidates the advantages and limitations of photoacoustic imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid carcinoma,and prospects on the precise diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
