Risk of Malignancy in Thyroid Nodules 4 cm or Larger [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2017
BackgroundSeveral authors have questioned the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in large nodules. Some surgeons recommend thyroidectomy for nodules ≥4 cm even in the setting of benign FNAC, due to increased risk of malignancy and ...

Clinical, Radiologic and Cytologic Predictors of Malignancy in Pediatric Thyroid Nodules: Insights From a 26‐Year Cohort Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Thyroid nodules are less common but more often malignant in pediatric patients than in adults. Our objectives were to study the features of benign vs. malignant thyroid nodules in a large pediatric patient cohort. Methods Retrospective observational cohort study. Consecutive patients aged 0.01–17.9 years at evaluation between 1997–

Influence of metabolic syndrome and lifestyle factors on thyroid nodules in Chinese adult men: a cross-sectional study

European Thyroid Journal, 2023
Introduction: Given the high prevalence of thyroid nodules and the potential for malignancy, it is imperative to understand the various factors that contribute to their development. This study aimed to explore the relationship between metabolic syndrome,

Preoperative Prediction of Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Using Arterial Enhancement Fraction Derived From Dual‐Layer Spectral CT

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of arterial enhancement fraction (AEF) derived from dual‐layer detector spectral CT (DLCT) in preoperative assessment of cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and to compare its performance with other spectral CT quantitative parameters and conventional CT ...

Strain and Shear Wave Elastography in Thyroid Nodules: Tissue Stiffness as a Complementary Risk Marker for Differentiating Benign, Indeterminate, and Malignant Cytology

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography (SWE) and strain elastography (SE) as complementary techniques to conventional B‐mode ultrasound for differentiating benign, indeterminate, and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods This prospective cross‐sectional study included 208 thyroid nodules evaluated using B‐mode

Development and Preliminary Validation of a Modified Thyroid Symptom Questionnaire (TSQ)

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to modify and validate the Thyroidectomy Voice and Symptom Questionnaire (TVSQ) to serve as a symptom screening tool in benign thyroid disease. Methods A 32‐item modified TVSQ was developed and administered alongside a symptom checklist to outpatients; controls were recruited to determine discriminative validity ...

Role of elastography strain ratio and TIRADS score in predicting malignant thyroid nodule

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020
Objective: Ultrasonography (US) is the most accurate and cost-effective imaging method in diagnosis of thyroid nodules. A practical thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TIRADS) for thyroid nodules has been proposed to classify nodules of the ...

Surgery After Thermal Ablation of Thyroid Nodules: A Systematic Review of Surgical Risk, Strategy and Pathological Findings

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Thermal ablation is increasingly used for selected thyroid nodules, but some patients subsequently require thyroidectomy. The effect of prior ablation on surgical risk, operative strategy, and histopathology remains unclear. Methods PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to May 2026 for studies
