Combination of Preoperative Ultrasonographic Mapping and Radioguided Occult Lesion Localization in Patients With Locally Recurrent/Persistent Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Abstract

The use of preoperative US-mapping with ROLL in patients with nonpalpable recurrent/persistent papillary thyroid cancer in central compartment is technically safe and effective method. Combination of techniques provides better information about topographical relations of recurrent/persistent lesions during surgery.
