Optimal cut-off values of protrusion angle of tumor on sonography (PATOS) system to predicting extrathyroidal extension in papillary thyroid carcinoma according to location

Bae Dongsik

Background: Extrathyroidal extension (ETE) is an important factor to determine treatment strategy of thyroid cancer. The purpose of this study was to present a new method to predict ETE in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods: This study included 1,481 patients with PTCs. The ETE was classified into minimal and gross ETE. Using an protrusion angle of the tumor on sonography (PATOS) system, we calculated optimal cut-off values to predict ETE accordin...
