Investigation of pre‐operative demographic, biochemical, sonographic and cytopathological findings in low‐risk thyroid neoplasms
Authors' conclusion
The majority of LRTNs were NIFTPs in our population and all WDT-UMPs were solitary lesions. Index nodule volume was the most essential discriminating sonographic finding but further research must be performed before discriminatory potential can be described.
Study context
- Population
- Cases diagnosed with low-risk thyroid neoplasms (LRTNs) from histopathology of 2453 malignant thyroidsof 2453 malignant thyroids
- Participants
- 99 cases
- Exposure
- Four subgroups of low-risk thyroid neoplasms: Well-differentiated carcinoma-not otherwise specified (WDC-NOS), NIFTP, well-differentiated tumours of uncertain malignant potential (WDT-UMP) and follicular tumour of uncertain malignant potential (FT-UMP)
- Outcome
- Pre-operative demographic, biochemical, sonographic and cytopathological characteristics of LRTN subgroups
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- NIFTPs share of all LRTNs
- 69.7%
- WDT-UMPs with solitary nodules
- 100%
- Index nodule volume differed among groups
- p = .036
- Index nodule volume lowest in WDC-NOS
- 0.68 (0.63-0.72 cc)
- Index nodule volume highest in FT-UMP
- 12.6 (0.5-64 cc)
- Index nodule TIRADS differed among groups
- p = .021
Observational data: associations, not effects.
