Novel approaches beyond cytology

Valderrabano Pablo

BackgroundThe traditional cytology-based management of thyroid nodules often leads those with indeterminate cytology to unnecessary resection for diagnostic purposes. In an attempt to improve presurgical diagnosis, several molecular marker tests have been developed in the last decade.MethodsThe benefits and limitations of prospectively validated molecular marker tests in cytologically indeterminate thyroid no...

Can sonoelastography and artificial intelligence improve the diagnostics of thyroid nodules?

Szczepanek-Parulska Ewelina

Thyroid nodules (TN) are the most common endocrine disorder present in 10 – 67% of adults, with a malignancy risk of 3 – 15%. Sonoelastography (SE) is a novel ultrasound technique providing information on elasticity of TN. Decreased elasticity proved to be a useful predictor of malignancy. SE cannot be regarded as a substitute for fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), but should rather be considered as a complementary tool facilitating estimation of TN malignancy ris...
