identify sites of regional disease as a means of staging the patient and planning surgical treatment will be illustrated through examples of ultrasound and anatomic imaging (CT and MRI). The utility of metabolic imaging (PET-CT) for patients with noniodine avid metastasis will be reviewed. The role of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration to confirm the presence of metastasis in patients with positive imaging studies will be discussed as well. The surgical management will cover the spectrum of clinical situations frequently encountered including central compartment dissection at the time of initial thyroid surgery, mediastinal lymph node dissection, central compartment reoperation with emphasis on parathyroid and recurrent laryngeal nerve preservation, and comprehensive lateral neck dissection. Videoclips of regional dissections will complement the didactic lectures and highlight surgical techniques. Postoperative surveillance will be discussed with an emphasis on thyroglobulin monitoring, radioiodine imaging, ultrasound, and anatomic imaging. Following the panelists' presentations, time will be allotted for audience interaction and illustrative case presentations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
