Correlation analysis between the pre-operative contrast-enhanced ultrasound parameters and biological characteristics of papillary thyroid carcinoma and associated risk factors for prognosis after radiofrequency ablation.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to assess the correlation between the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) parameters and biological characteristics of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and identify risk factors of recurrence for the prognosis after radiofrequency ablation. A total of 72 patients with PTC were included. Disease recurrence and metastasis were evaluated based on the imaging performance and laboratory tests. Perfusion parameters were recorded and compared. After biopsy, the tumor tissues were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin staining, and the expression levels of P53 and Ki67 were detected using immunohistochemistry. The association between the CEUS parameters and the expression of P53 and Ki67 was analyzed. Risk factors for disease recurrence were analyzed using logistic regressio
