The predictive value of clinical ultrasonographic features and BRAF gene mutation in lymph node metastasis in the cervical central region of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma
The predictive value of clinical ultrasonographic features and BRAF gene mutation in lymph node metastasis in the cervical central region of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma
To investigate the value of clinical ultrasonographic features and
BRAF
gene for the prediction of central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in patients with papillary microcarcinoma of the thyroid (P
TMC).
Methods:
A total of 509 PTMC patients who underwent thyroidectomy in Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital
Medical School of Nanjing University were included in this study. They were divided into metastatic group and non-metastatic group. Their clinical data
ultrasonic and pathological characteristics were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the risk factors associated with CLNM.
Results:
CLNM was present in 203 (39.9%) of 509 PTMC patients. Multivariate analysis showed that age <45 years (OR=2.453
P
<0.001)
diameter of tumor0.7 cm (OR=1.729
P
=0.021)
micro-calcification (OR=1.914
P
=0.002)
bilateral lobe (OR=1.947
P
=0.005)
and capsule invasion (OR=1.804
P
=0.004) were independent risk factors for CLNM. However
there was no significant difference in
BRAF
gene mutation between the two groups (
P
=0.850). Comparison between
BRAF
V600E (-) and
BRAF
V600E (+) showed that the differences between the two groups were only statistically significant in aspect ratio and micro- calcification (
P
<0.001
P
=0.011).
Conclusion:
For PTMC patients
age<45 years
diameter of tumor0.7 cm
bilateral growth
micro-calcification and capsule invasion can predict CLNM
Predictive value of ultrasound imaging characteristics combined with BRAF V600E mutation in the risk of central lymph node metastasis in cN0 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma
