Abstract:
Surgery is the most important and effective way to treat thyroid cancer. How to reduce surgical complications while completely treating tumor has always been the focus and difficulty of thyroid surgery. Carbon nanoparticles suspension injection is the third generation lymph node tracer, with strong staining specificity, rapid development, long staining time, simple use, harmless to human body and other characteristics, showing unique clinical value in lymph node tracing, parathyroid identification and protection. However, the application of carbon nanoparticles in thyroid surgery is still controversial. After literature review, the authors address the clinical application of carbon nanoparticles in thyroid cancer surgery.
