Jack Baskin INTRODUCTION The strategic value of ultrasound in the postoperative surveillance of patients with thyroid cancer and in the preoperative surgical planning of patients undergoing thyroid cancer surgery has become increasingly appreciated over the past decade. In this chapter we will focus on how to recognize and differentiate malignant lymph nodes from benign lymphadenopathy. Once you become familiar with the appearance of metastatic lymph nodes in thyroid cancer you will find that ultrasound is a more specific tool for separating benign from malignant lymph nodes than it is for separating benign and malignant thyroid nodules. However we still must rely on ultrasound-guided FNA for a definitive diagnosis. POSTOPERATIVE SURVEILLANCE FOR THYROID CANCER Ultrasound has assumed a primary role in the management of patients who have been treated for thyroid cancer. In spite of better surgical techniques the acceptance of total and near-total thyroidectomy and the increasing use of radioiodine the mortality rate from well-differentiated thyroid cancer has changed very little over the past thirty years. Because of its propensity to occur at any age even in the very young and to recur many years later thyroid cancer must be monitored for the lifetime of the patient. Surveillance of these patients in a cost-effective manner has been a challenge. Until the 1990s the only diagnostic tool available was a 131I whole body scan WBS done after withdrawing the patient from thyroid hormone replacement. The sensitivity of a WBS in the early detection of residual recurrent or metastatic thyroid cancer is poor. This is apparent 111 112 . BASKIN from the many patients who have increased thyroglobulin Tg but negative diagnostic scans who are treated with 131I and have positive post-treatment scans 1-4 . Park et al. have also shown that the doses of 131I used for WBS can stun the uptake of iodine in metastatic lesions
