Morphometric Analysis of Lateral Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Using Digital Pathology

Digital pathology uses digitized images for cancer research. We aimed to assess morphometric parameters using digital pathology for predicting recurrence in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and lateral cervical lymph node (LN) metastasis. We analyzed 316 PTC patients and assessed the...

Description
Summary:Digital pathology uses digitized images for cancer research. We aimed to assess morphometric parameters using digital pathology for predicting recurrence in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and lateral cervical lymph node (LN) metastasis. We analyzed 316 PTC patients and assessed the longest diameter and largest area of metastatic focus in LNs using a whole slide imaging scanner. In digital pathology assessment, the longest diameters and largest areas of metastatic foci in LNs were positively correlated with traditional optically measured diameters ( R  = 0.928 and R 2  = 0.727, p
