Predictive Parameters in Thyroid Cancer: The Mirror of an Endemic Country
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been detected that the absence of thickening of isthmus and the solid nature of nodules, both had statistical significance in regard to predictivity of suspicious nodules. Although not statistically significant, there were differences in favour of malignancy between the groups when any of the parameters of solitary nodule, solid nature, loss of perinodular halo, hypoechoic nodule, and large nodule diameter were evaluated. In contrast to the expectancy; the number and diameter of nodules, in addition to gender were not found to be of significant predictive value in Turkey.
