Overview
Other diagnostic studies for papillary thyroid cancer include mRNA measurement, which demonstrates residual metastatic disease.
Key Findings in mRNA in Papillary thyroid cancer
- Chia et al. report that micro RNA measured with fine needle aspiration enhances the preoperative detection of cancer in patients with thyroid nodules, reducing unnecessary surgeries. Suspected lung metastases and/or miliary aspects at x-ray or CT can be diagnosed by cytology on a bronchoalveolar lavage specimen.[1]
