Assessment of the effectiveness of local anesthesia before thyroid fine needle biopsy considering the size of the nodule
Background: Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is usually used to distinguish the malignant and benign nodules. Applying a biopsy needle evokes a sense of fear and pain in the patients. Although some studies refute the usefulness of local anesthesia (LA) prior to fine needle aspiration biopsy, it is still debatable. This prospective cross-sectional study intended to evaluate the effect of LA ...
متن کاملSimple core-needle biopsy for thyroid nodule, complicated tinnitus.
BACKGROUND Fine-needle aspiration is the procedure of choice for evaluating thyroid nodules. Core-needle biopsy (CNB) is not included in the American Thyroid Association recommendations for evaluating such nodules. CNB complications are classically bleeding and hematomas. To our knowledge, no case of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) secondary to a CNB has been reported, nor has any case of tinnitus ...
متن کاملEfficacy of levothyroxine on benign thyroid nodule
Background: Suppressive therapy with levothyroxine for reducing the size of thyroid nodules has not been really accepted. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of levothyroxine on the size of benign thyroid nodules. Methods: Forty patients with confirmed benign nodule were randomly divided into two groups. Group I received 50?g/day levothyroxin for six months but group II did not t...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodule versus biopsy in thyroid lesions.
BACKGROUND FNA biopsy of thyroid is a rapid, minimally invasive, and cost effective first line procedure in the evaluation of thyroid nodule. This study was conducted to evaluate the cytological accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of fine needle aspiration (FNA) of solitary thyroid nodules in correlation with post-surgical histological findings. METHODS This retrospective study was carried ...
متن کاملEvaluation of gene expression profiles in thyroid nodule biopsy material to diagnose thyroid cancer.
CONTEXT Detection of thyroid cancer among benign nodules on fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB), which presently relies on cytological examination, is expected to be improved by new diagnostic tests set up from genomic data. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to use a set of genes discriminating benign from malignant tumors, on the basis of their expression levels, to build tumor classifie...
