摘要:

目的 探讨术前超声联合中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)、降钙素(Ctn)、癌胚抗原(CEA)水平预测甲状腺乳头状癌颈侧区淋巴结转移的价值。 方法 选取2021年10月至2024年10月医院收治103例甲状腺乳头状癌患者作为病例组,经手术病理确诊颈侧区淋巴结转移34例作为转移组,69例未发生颈侧区淋巴结转移患者作为未转移组,选取同期收治的良性甲状腺结节患者103例为对照组。比较病例组与对照组临床资料、超声特征及NLR、Ctn、CEA水平,转移组和未转移组超声特征及NLR、Ctn、CEA水平,并采用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析超声特征及NLR、Ctn、CEA水平联合检测对甲状腺乳头状癌颈侧区淋巴结转移的预测价值。 结果 较对照组,病例组超声特征中微钙化、血流3级的患者占比更高,NLR、Ctn、CEA水平也均更高(P < 0.05)。较未转移组,转移组超声特征中微钙化、血流3级的患者占比更高,NLR、Ctn、CEA水平也均更高(P < 0.05)。将转移组纳入阳性,未转移组纳入阴性,超声特征(微钙化、血流分级)及NLR、Ctn、CEA水平联合检测诊断甲状腺乳头状癌颈侧区淋巴结转移的AUC高于各项单独检测(P < 0.05)。 结论 术前超声联合NLR、Ctn、CEA水平检查对甲状腺乳头状癌颈侧区淋巴结转移有较高的预测价值。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the predictive value of preoperative ultrasound in combination with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), calcitonin (Ctn), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) for cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods A total of 103 patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) who were admitted to the hospital between October 2021 and October 2024 were selected as the case group. Among them, 34 patients with cervical lymph node metastasis confirmed by surgical and pathological examination were assigned to the metastatic group, and 69 patients without cervical lymph node metastasis were assigned to the non-metastatic group. Additionally, 103 patients with benign thyroid nodules admitted during the same period were enrolled as the control group. Clinical data, ultrasonographic features, and serum levels of NLR, Ctn, and CEA were compared between the metastatic and non-metastatic groups. The predictive value of ultrasonographic features and the combined detection of NLR, Ctn, and CEA levels for cervical lymph node metastasis in PTC was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results Compared to the control group, the case group exhibited a higher proportion of patients with microcalcification and grade 3 blood flow, as well as elevated levels of NLR, Ctn, and CEA (P < 0.05). Similarly, compared to the non-metastatic group, the metastatic group showed a higher proportion of patients with microcalcification and grade 3 blood flow, along with increased levels of NLR, Ctn, and CEA (P < 0.05). The metastatic group tested positive, whereas the non-metastatic group tested negative. The area under the curve (AUC) for ultrasound features (microcalcification, blood flow classification) combined with NLR, Ctn, and CEA levels in diagnosing cervical lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma was higher than that of individual indicators (P < 0.05). Conclusions Preoperative ultrasound combined with the assessment of NLR, Ctn, and CEA levels demonstrates significant predictive value for cervical lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
