Objective To analyze the value of intraoperative frozen pathological sections in the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods 110 suspected papillary thyroid cancer patients admitted to our hospital from September 2023 to September 2024 were selected as the research sample. All suspected patients underwent intraoperative frozen pathological section examination and postoperative paraffin section examination. The results of postoperative paraffin section examination were used as the gold standard to compare the diagnostic efficacy of the two examination methods and the diagnostic accuracy of different types of papillary thyroid cancer. Results The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of intraoperative frozen pathological section examination were 97.98%, 72.73%, and 95.45%, respectively; The diagnostic results of different types of papillary thyroid cancer diagnosed by intraoperative frozen pathological section examination and postoperative paraffin section examination are similar (P>0.05). Conclusion Intraoperative frozen pathological section examination is a fast and effective diagnostic method, which can provide reliable pathological basis for timely surgical treatment of papillary thyroid cancer.
