Jugular Vein Invasion Diagnosis and Prognosis in Thyroid Carcinomas

Pol J Radiol. 2016 Jun 7:81:268-9. doi: 10.12659/PJR.896757. eCollection 2016.

Abstract

Diagnosis of venous jugular invasion by means of traditional imaging is very rarely reported in the literature. Doppler ultrasound definitively helps to diagnose the tumor thrombus, the extent, and helps in redefining the TNM stage of such an aggressive thyroid tumor.
