Abstract:
Local advanced thyroid carcinoma is difficult to treat in clinic.Ultrasound has the advantages of high resolution,accurate positioning and real-time imaging.It is the preferred imaging method for diagnosis,follow-up and evaluation of thyroid carcinoma patients. Ultrasound provides the size and location of the lesion and whether the invasion of the surrounding organs and cervical lymph node metastasis,which can real-time monitor disease progression.In addition,ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation can provide a definitive therapeutic effect for patients with advanced thyroid cancer who cannot undergo surgery.
