15 صفحه اولAccuracy of fine needle aspiration biopsy with and without the use of tumor markers in cytologically indeterminate thyroid lesions.
We investigated if the use of two tumor markers, galectin-3 and CD44v6, could improve diagnostic accuracy of thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in cytologically indeterminate lesions (CIL). 351 patients with CIL [cellular follicular lesion/suspicious follicular neoplasm/suspicious Hürthle cell neoplasm (CFL/sFN/sHCN), Hürthle cell neoplasm (HCN), and follicular neoplasm (FN)] and surg...
متن کاملEffect of the Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology on thyroidectomy rates and malignancy risk in cytologically indeterminate lesions.
BACKGROUND Cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In 2007, the National Cancer Institute recommended The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) as a means of improving the accuracy of thyroid cytopathology. Our objective was to determine the effect of TBSRTC on thyroidectomy rates and malignancy risk in cytologically i...
متن کاملUtility of BRAF V600E mutation detection in cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules
BACKGROUND Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is widely utilized for evaluation of patients with thyroid nodules. However, approximately 30% are indeterminate for malignancy. Recently, a mutation in the BRAF gene has been reported to be the most common genetic event in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In this retrospective study, we assessed the utility of BRAF V600E mutation detection for refining...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of FDG-PET/CT for cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules: a decision analytic approach.
CONTEXT Patients with thyroid nodules of indeterminate cytology undergo diagnostic surgery according to current guidelines. In 75% of patients, the nodule is benign. In these patients, surgery was unnecessary and unbeneficial because complications may occur. Preoperative fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) was found to have a very high negative predi...
