Introduction: Despite the relation between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and development of malignancy is well known, data on antidiabetic drugs and cancer risk is contradictory. Thesis which have suggested that analogue insulins, especially glargine, increase cancer risk, has not been validated. The present study aimed to evaluate the possible contributions of diabetes durations and medications to the type and course of malignancy in patients with both diabetes and malignancy...

Objective: In the Bethesda classification (BC), which is used in cytopathologic evaluation of thyroid nodules, follicular lesion of undetermined significance (FLUS) does not involve sufficient cellular atypia for follicular neoplasia or malignancy, while it doesn’t comprise the cytologic benign criteria. Therefore, there is no consensus for those nodules to follow-up and therapeutic approaches. In this study, we aimed to determine the ultrasonographic features and histopa...

Aim: In this study, our aim is to evaluate the ultrasonographic features and histopathologic results of the thyroid nodules which are defined as AUS and contribute to the therapeutic approach of these nodules.Methods: We evaluated 95 nodules of 92 patients, who have nodular or multinodular goiter and had diagnosed AUS at least in one nodule with fine-needle aspiration (FNA). Patients’ thyroid function tests, ultrasonographic features of the nodules ...

Objective: In our clinic we aimed to assess ultrasonographic and histopathologic data of thyroid nodules of patients with nodular thyroid disease reported their repeated cytologic results as non-diagnostic.Methods: Seventy-five patients with nodular thyroid disease whom their TFNAB results were reported 2–3 times non-diagnostically (due to large nodule, ultrasonographically suspicious nodule, high elastosonographic score or strain index, family hist...
