MORPHOLOGY OF THYROID CARCINOMA AFTER CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT: CYTOLOGICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL CORRELATIONS
The results of analysis of cyto-histological comparisons in study of morphology of thyroid neoplasms in 66 patients residing in south-west districts of Bryansk region of the Russian Federation are presented in the article. The possibilities and restrictions of cytologic method of pre-operational diagnostics of thyroid cancer are shown. The cytological and histological peculiarities of different morphological variants of papillary cancer depending on predominant structural component and cellular structure of tumors are distinguished. For the first time the assumption of higher frequency of regional metastatic disease of papillary cancer of ordinary histological structure with focal content of high tumor cells is expressed.
