Introduction Over the past years, the incidence of thyroid cancer has surged not only in
Germany but also in other countries of the Western hemisphere. This surge was first and …

Objective FNA is a simple, safe, cost-effective and accurate diagnostic tool for the initial
screening of patients with thyroid nodules. The aims of this study were to determine the …

Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid is the initial screening test for
thyroid nodules. The Bethesda system classifies thyroid FNAC into six categories. Each …

Objectives To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) to
preoperatively diagnose medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) among multiple international …

Objectives/Hypothesis Fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is well established in the
diagnosis of thyroid nodules. However, false‐negative rates for malignancy of 3% to 10 …

Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is among the first diagnostic tools used in the evaluation of
thyroid nodules. It has the ability to triage patients with benign and malignant lesions, thus …

In this paper, we aim to focus on false positive results in the evaluation of thyroid aspirations,
covering cystic, inflammatory, follicular and oncocytic lesions, papillary carcinoma, and …

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine neoplasm accounting for approximately 1,
7% of total cancer diagnoses. The gold standard for evaluation of thyroid nodules is cytology …

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic role of core needle biopsy (CNB) in sonographically
suspicious thyroid nodules with initially benign cytologic results through a histologic analysis …

Abstract Purpose The Bethesda classification for cytology is used to classify thyroid nodules
into one of six categories, and for each category there is an implied cancer risk and also …
