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 کاملNomogram for predicting malignancy in thyroid nodules using clinical, biochemical, ultrasonographic, and cytologic features.
BACKGROUND Thyroid nodules often discovered incidentally and present a management problem particularly when investigations suggest atypical or suspicious cells. Prediction of the risk of malignancy within such a thyroid nodule is based on clinical, biochemical, ultrasonographic, and cytologic features. Our aim was to create a nomogram to predict accurately the chance of malignancy within a thyr...
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 کاملPredicting malignancy in thyroid nodules: feasibility of a predictive model integrating clinical, biochemical, and ultrasound characteristics
BACKGROUND Although the majority of thyroid nodules are benign the process of excluding malignancy is challenging and sometimes involves unnecessary surgical procedures. We explored the development of a predictive model for malignancy in thyroid nodules by integrating a combination of simple demographic, biochemical, and ultrasound characteristics. METHODS Retrospective case-record review. We...
متن کاملMachine Learning Classifier for Preoperative Diagnosis of Benign Thyroid Nodules
Diagnosis of a thyroid nodule is the most common endocrine problem in the United States. Approximately 15-30% of thyroid nodules evaluated by via the most common method, fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs), are indeterminate. Individuals with cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules are often referred for diagnostic surgery. These surgical consultations can be costly, dangerous, and in m...
