Some ultrasound predictors of the volume of surgical intrevention in differentiated forms of thyroid gland cancer

Abstract

Nodular formations of the thyroid gland occur in 5-8% of the adult population. The widespread use of ultrasonography to evaluate thyroid pathology has led to a dramatic increase in the prevalence of asymptomatic disease, which, according to literature estimates, ranges from 25 to 75% of the general population.
