ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical value of high frequency ultrasound combined with serum tumor specific growth factor in diagnosis of thyroid cancer.Methods 155 patients with thyroid tumor received preoperative high frequency ultrasound and the detection of TSGF content,the histopathologic examination was given after operation.The clinical value of high frequency ultrasound and TSGF detection in diagnosis of thyroid cancer was analyzed.Results The sensitivity of high frequency ultrasound in diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma was 82.54％,the specificity was 81.52％.The sensitivity of TSGF in diagnosis of thyroid cancer was 79.37％,the specificity was 78.26％.The sensitivity of high frequency ultrasound combined with TSGF in diagnosis of thyroid cancer was 92.06％,the specificity was 93.48％.And the coincidence rate of combined detection was significantly higher than the two methods used alone,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion High frequency ultrasound combined with TSGF detection can make up the shortage of the two methods,which has important value in improving the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.
