Trial Information
Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common thyroid malignancy worldwide. The influence
of clinicopathologic features on prognosis has been examined, but the relationship between
cytologic features obtained by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and prognosis has been minimally
studied. We retrospectively studied the cytologic features with computerized morphometry in
83 patients with usual-type papillary thyroid cancer and followed them for more than 10
years except for one with metastasis at diagnosis. The cytologic features of FNA and
recurrence of cancer were examined statistically.
