In detail, the nodule with the highest cytological suspicion for malignancy was considered; in the case of nodules with the same cytological diagnosis, the greater in size was taken into account. For a subset of patients, molecular analysis was performed upon the endocrinologist’s request. The ...
Radiological evaluation with ultrasound imaging was done for all patients with thyroid nodules, and nodules were classified according to thyroid imaging, reporting and data system (TI-RADS) criteria [22]. Ultrasound-guided FNA (USFNA) was done by experienced thyroid specialists. The FNA (two passes...
Progression rate can be assessed by the doubling time of TG,98 and should always be confirmed by standardised imaging that is repeated every 6 months, using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumour (RECIST). The main selection criterion for clinical trials in patients with refractory ...
Fine-needle aspiration of the thyroid nodule revealed microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti. After therapy the thyroid swelling subsided and the patient became euthyroid. The possible etiologic role of microfilariae in the genesis of the thyroid tumor and hyperthyroidism is discussed. Diagn. Cytopathol....

Ultrasound-Guided FNA and Molecular Markers for Optimization of Thyroid Nodule ManagementThyroid nodules are a common clinical problem. The prevalence range by palpation is 3–7 %. Imaging with thyroid ultrasonography detects numerous additional nodules with prevalence rate ranging from 20...
Objective: There is much reported variation in the impact of local anesthesia on thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) related discomfort. We compare patients undergoing thyroid FNA with subcutaneous injection or topical anesthetic to no anesthetic. Methods: A retrospective review of 585 sequential ...
