Predicting malignancy in thyroid nodules: molecular advances.
Over the last several years, a clearer understanding has developed of the genetic alterations underlying thyroid carcinogenesis. This knowledge can be used to tackle 1 of the challenges facing thyroidologists: management of the indeterminate thyroid nodule. Despite the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology, many patients undergo surgery to diagnose malignancy and better diagnostic tools a...
متن کاملFDG-PET parameters predicting mediastinal malignancy in lung cancer
BACKGROUND Staging of mediastinal lymph nodes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is mandatory. The maximum Standard Uptake Value (SUVmax) obtained using F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is the best non-invasive technique available for this evaluation, but its performance varies from center to center. The aim of the present study was to identify FDG-PET predictor...
متن کاملSemi-supervised Learning Approaches for Predicting Lung Nodules Semantic Characteristics
We propose two semi-supervised learning approaches for automatically predicting semantic characteristics of lung nodules based on low-level image features. The NIH Lung Image Database Consortium (LIDC) dataset is used for training and testing of the proposed approaches such that the nodules on which at least three radiologists agree serve as labeled data and all the other nodules serve as unlab...
متن کامل[Evaluation of clinical, laboratorial and ultrasonographic predicting factors of malignancy in thyroid nodules].
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of malignancy in thyroid nodules through clinical, laboratory, ultrasonographic and cytological aspects. PATIENTS AND METHODS 741 nodules of 407 patients. RESULTS The cytology was benign (60,5%), indeterminate (23,3%), malignant (8,3%) or nondiagnostic (7,6%). The prevalence of cancer in indeterminate citology was 18,5% (16% in follicular lesions, 44% in suspi...
متن کاملRole of conventional ultrasonography and color flow-doppler sonography in predicting malignancy in 'cold' thyroid nodules.
The aim of the present study was to establish the usefulness of conventional thyroid ultrasonography (US) and color flow-doppler (CFD) sonography in the assessment of 'cold' thyroid nodules. One hundred and four consecutive patients with thyroid nodules who were to undergo surgery were examined by US and CFD before thyroidectomy. Conventional US evaluated the presence of a halo sign, hypoechoge...
