Quantitative Analysis of Cytologic Features: Application to Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Cytologic diagnosis relies on recognition of morphologic features, yet the diagnostic value of individual cytologic features or their combinations is rarely quantified. In this study, we apply a quantitative cytologic feature analysis (QCFA) approach that treats each cytologic feature as a diagnostic test with measurable ...

Cumulative Cytological Assessment of Repeated Non‐Diagnostic Thyroid Fine Needle Aspirations: A Novel Approach to Reduce Diagnostic Uncertainty

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is the primary diagnostic tool for evaluating thyroid nodules. However, 10%–21% of FNAs yield non‐diagnostic (ND) results (Bethesda category I). Repeated ND findings occur in 25%–67.5% of cases, creating diagnostic uncertainty and increased healthcare costs.

Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology of the Ovary

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1995
FNA cytology has been shown to be highly accurate in diagnosing malignant tumors. In gynecology, an overall accuracy of 94.5% in the differentiation between benign and malignant tumors has been reported. Despite many controversial views regarding its safety, aspiration cytology has been accepted as an innocuous procedure that can be accomplished with ...

Combined Detection of Preoperative Serum Calcitonin and Carcinoembryonic Antigen in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
Compared with the detection of either marker alone, the combined detection of calcitonin (Ctn) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) improved the diagnostic accuracy for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) but did not enhance the positive predictive value (PPV).

Deceptive Thyroid Pathologies: Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma Mimics and Clinical Implications

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Beyond follicular‐derived thyroid carcinomas, lymphomas, and metastatic disease, there are rare pathologies of the thyroid gland that represent a challenge. We report patients with unusual malignancies that mimic similar aggressive cancers. Methods Retrospective case series.
