The present disclosure provides a method of prognosis of thyroid cancer including obtaining an exosome from a subject who had received a therapy of thyroid cancer such as thyroidectomy, and detecting whether thyroglobulin is present in the exosome. Moreover, the present disclosure provides the use of urinary exosomal thyroglobulin in being a non-invasive, reproducible, convenient, serial, and accurate follow-up marker for patient with thyroid cancer.

Biomarker for prognosis of thyroid cancer

A cytological image processing device, a method for quantifying characteristics of cytological image and a non-transitory computer readable medium thereof are provided. The cytological image processing device executes the method including the steps: loading a cytological image with a plurality of pixels; removing a background part from the cytological image according to at least one of a plurality of color attributes of each pixel of the cytological image in a color space to obtain a background-subtracted image; dividing the background-subtracted image into a nuclear part and a cytoplasmic part; detecting a plurality of edge pixels in the background-subtracted image to segment a plurality of nuclear blocks in the background-subtracted image; generating a parameter set according to the nuclear blocks; and generating an output image by visualizing the background-subtracted image.
