Background: To evaluate the association of preoperative clinical and sonographic features with central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) without capsule invasion.
Methods: Clinical and sonographic features of 635 cN0 PTC nodules without capsule invasion were retrospectively reviewed. CLNM was confirmed by pathology.
Objectives: Our goal was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of thyroid nodules according to size and US features.
Methods: A retrospective correlation was made with 1745 whole thyroidectomy and hemithyroidectomy specimens with preoperative US-guided FNA results. All cases were divided into 5 groups according to nodule size (≤5, 5.
Objectives: To compare the sonographic results, clinicopathologic characteristics, and biomarkers in pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast and DCIS with microinvasion.
Methods: A total of 218 patients with pathologically proven DCIS based on sonography in our hospital (2009-2013) were retrospectively enrolled. Clinicopathologic characteristics and biomarkers were examined.
Background: The objective of this study was to compare the sampling efficiency of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and fine-needle capillary (FNC) sampling in thyroid nodules, in which the authors specifically analyzed the influence of nodule size.
Methods: This study included 280 thyroid nodules in 275 consecutive patients. The nodules were divided into 4 size subgroups: ≤5.
