Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration thyroglobulin in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma and its influencing factors

ConclusionThe findings of this study indicate that the utilization of FNA in conjunction with FNA-Tg is a crucial approach for detecting LNM in DTC. TNM stage indicated N1b, the presence of HVLNM, the presence of HT, lymph node L/S ratio, liquefaction, calcification, tumor diameter, sTg and sTgAb are factors that can impact FNA-Tg levels.In the context of clinical application, it is imperative to individualize the use of FNA-Tg.
