Objective Thyroid ultrasound is crucial for clinical decision in the management of thyroid nodules. In this study, we aimed to estimate and compare the performance of ATA, AACE/ACE/AME and ACR TI-RADS ultrasound classifications in discriminating nodules with high-risk cytology. Design Cross-sectional study. Methods 1077 thyroid nodules undergoing fine-needle aspiration were classified according to ATA, AACE/ACE/AME and ACR TI-RADS ultrasound classifications by an automated algorithm. Odds ratios (ORs) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for high-risk cytology categories (TIR3b, TIR4 and TIR5) were calculated for the different US categories and compared. Results Cytological categories of risk increased together with all US classifications’ sonographic patterns (P < 0.001). The diagnostic performance (C-index) of ACR TI-RADS and AACE/ACE/AME significantly improved when adding clinical data as gender and age in the regression model (P < 0.001). A significant difference in the final model C-index between the three US classification systems was found (P < 0.029), with the ACR TI-RADS showing the highest nominal C-index value, significantly superior to ATA (P = 0.008), but similar to AACE/ACE/AME (P = 0.287). ATA classification was not able to classify 54 nodules, which showed a significant 7 times higher risk of high-risk cytology than the ‘very low suspicion’ nodules (OR: 7.20 (95% confidence interval: 2.44–21.24), P < 0.001). Conclusions The ACR TI-RADS classification system has the highest area under the ROC curve for the identification of cytological high-risk nodules. ATA classification leaves ‘unclassified’ nodules at relatively high risk of malignancy.

Abstract Introduction Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is the gold standard for the diagnostic assessment of thyroid nodules, with cytology stratified using the Thy classification (Thy 1-5). The management of cases where cytology is indeterminate (Thy-3) is challenging and subject to controversy. The current British Thyroid Association guidelines subclassify Thy-3 lesions into Thy-3a (atypia) and Thy-3f (follicular). Repeat FNA is generally recommended for Thy-3a specimens, whilst Thy-3f lesions should proceed to diagnostic hemithyroidectomy. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of malignancy in Thy-3a and Thy-3f lesions. Method This was a retrospective study of all patients who underwent FNA of a thyroid nodule from 01/01/2018 – 31/12/19. Those with Thy-3 cytology were identified and results correlated with final surgical histology. Results In total, there were 179 patients with Thy-3 cytology: 37 Thy-3a and 142 Thy-3f. The rate of malignancy was 21.6% (n = 8) for Thy-3a lesions and 20.4% (n = 29) for Thy-3f. When excluding microcarcinoma, the rates fell to 20.4% (n = 7) and 12.7% (n = 18) respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in malignant conversion between the two groups (p = 0.20). Conclusions This study does not demonstrate any statistically significant difference in the risk of malignancy between the Thy-3a and Thy-3f groups, suggesting that this subclassification does not add any additional utility to clinical decision making. Consideration should be given to the use of local malignant conversion rates to guide further management and pre-operative patient counselling in the Thy3 group.

Abstract Introduction: The prevalence of thyroid nodules identified by ultrasonography (US) may be up to 70%, with the majority being incidentalomas. Less than 15% of thyroid nodules will be malignant. Ultrasonography plays a key role in the diagnosis and management of thyroid diseases and US features have been described in way to predict the risk of malignancy. Aim: Evaluate and correlate US features with histological results, in our hospital, from January 2017 to December 2018. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study. A total of 117 patients were evaluated, 77 had histology of nodular hyperplasia (benign) and 40 had histology of thyroid carcinoma (malign) after partial or total thyroidectomy. We described the size of the nodule (the largest diameter), the US features detailed in the ultrasound report (shape, margins, echogenicity, composition and microcalcifications), the EU-TIRADS score of each nodule and the histology of thyroid. The data were analysed using nonparametric statistical tests. The results are presented as median (interquartile range). The level of significance accepted was p&lt;0.05. Results: Of the 117 patients, 82.1% were female, with a median age of 59.7 (25.0) years, nodule size in benign histology group was 35.0 (14.0) mm and in malign histology group was 20.0 (28.0) mm. Of malignant nodules, 90.0% (n=36) were papillary carcinomas. The prevalence of US features: 76.9% were solid, 35.0% had microcalcifications, 25.6% had irregular margins, 17.9% were markedly hypoechoic and 6.8% were taller-than-wide. Three characteristics were significantly related to malignancy: irregular margins (p=0.001), markedly hypoechoic (p=0.001) and microcalcifications (p=0.015). The taller-than-wide feature had the highest specificity of 94.8%; the marked hypoechogenicity with a specificity of 92.2%, had the highest positive likelihood ratio (LHR+: 4.81 (95% CI: 2.02–11.44)) and the highest diagnostic odds ratio (DOR: 7.10 (95% CI: 2.48–20.30)). The EU-TIRADS 5 category had a significant association with malignancy (p=0.001) and 80.0% of malignant nodules were classified in this category. The specificity was 62.3%, LHR+ was 2.12 (95% CI: 1.53–2.94) and DOR was 6.62 (95% CI: 2.69–16.31). Conclusion: In the evaluation of the US features, marked hypoechogenicity had the highest LHR+ and DOR. It was possible to verify that the EU-TIRADS 5 category was a good predictor of risk to malignancy, which reinforces the importance of categorizing the nodules for selective perform of fine needle aspiration.

Abstract Background Cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules currently present a challenge for clinical decision-making. The main aim of our study was to determine whether the classifications, American College of Radiology (ACR) TI-RADS and 2015 American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines, in association with The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC), could be used to stratify the malignancy risk of indeterminate thyroid nodules and guide their clinical management. Methods The institutional review board approved this retrospective study of a cohort of 140 thyroid nodules in 139 patients who were referred to ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from January 2012 to June 2016 with indeterminate cytological results (44 Bethesda III, 52 Bethesda IV and 44 Bethesda V) and in whom pre-FNAC thyroid US images and histological results after surgery were available. Each included nodule was classified by one radiologist blinded to the cytological and histological diagnoses according to the ACR TIRADS scores and the US patterns as recommended in the 2015 ATA guidelines. The risk of malignancy was estimated for Bethesda, TI-RADS scores, ATA US patterns and their combination. Results Of the 140 indeterminate thyroid nodules examined, 74 (52.9%) were histologically benign. A different rate of malignancy (p < 0.001) among Bethesda III, IV and V was observed. The rate of malignancy increased according to the US suspicion categories (p < 0.001) in both US classifications (TI-RADS and ATA). Thyroid nodules classified as Bethesda III and the lowest risk US categories (very low, low and intermediate suspicion by ATA and 2, 3 and 4a by TI-RADS) displayed a sensitivity of 95.3% for both classifications and a negative predictive value of 94.3 and 94.1%, respectively. The highest risk US categories (high suspicion by ATA and 4b,4c and 5 by TI-RADS) were significantly associated with cancer (odds ratios [ORs] 14.7 and 9.8, respectively). Conclusions Ultrasound classifications, ACR TI-RADS and ATA guidelines, may help guide the management of indeterminate thyroid nodules, suggesting a conservative approach to nodules with low-risk US suspicion and Bethesda III, while molecular testing and surgery should be considered for nodules with high-risk US suspicion and Bethesda IV or V.

Abstract Background People are at a high risk of gastric cancer if their first-degree relatives suffered from atrophic gastritis (AG), intestinal metaplasia (IM), intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN), dysplasia (DYS), or gastric cancer (GC). This study was performed to analyse the association between FDR-GC and GC precursors. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed to screen the prevalence of GC precursors from November 2016 to September 2019. A total of 1329 participants with FDR-GC, 193 participants with a family history of non-gastric cancer in FDRs (FDR-nGC), and 860 participants without a family history of cancer in FDRs (FDR-nC) were recruited in this study. The logistic regression model was used in this study. Results The prevalence of normal, Non-AG, AG/IM, IEN/DYS, and GC was 31.91, 44.21, 13.81, 8.73, and 1.34%, respectively. The prevalence of IEN/DYS was higher in people with FDR-GC and FDR-nGC (FDR-GC: odds ratio (OR) = 1.655; 95%CI, 1.153–2.376; FDR-nGC: OR = 1.984; 95%CI, 1.122–3.506) than those with FDR-nC. The younger the age at which FDRs were diagnosed with GC, the more likely the participants were to develop AG/IM (Ptrend = 0.019). The risk of precursors to GC was higher in participants whose FDR-GC was the mother than in those whose FDR-GC was the father or sibling (OR, non-AG: 1.312 vs. 1.007, 1.274; AG/IM: 1.430 vs. 1.296, 1.378; IEN/DYS: 1.988 vs. 1.573, 1.542). There was no statistically significant difference in non-AG (OR = 1.700; 95%CI, 0.940–3.074), AG/IM (OR = 1.291; 95%CI, 0.579–2.877), and IEN/DYS (OR = 1.265; 95%CI, 0.517–3.096) between participants with one or more FDR-GC. Conclusion People with FDR-GC and FDR-nGC are at a high risk of IEN/DYS. When an FDR was diagnosed at a younger age, the risk of AG/IM was higher. The risk of GC precursors was higher in people whose FDR-GC was the mother.

Cytological Features

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the final diagnosis of thyroid nodules before surgery. It is important to further improve the indeterminate FNAC diagnosis results using computerized cytological features. This retrospective cross-sectional study included 240 cases, of whom 110 had histologic diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancers (PTC), 100 had nodular/adenomatous goiters/hyperplasia (benign goiters), 10 had follicular/Hurthle cell carcinomas, and 20 had follicular adenomas. Morphological and chromatic features of FNAC were quantified and analyzed. The result showed that six quantified cytological features were found significantly different between patients with a histologic diagnosis of PTC and patients with histologic diagnosis of benign goiters in multivariate analysis. These cytological features were used to estimate the malignancy risk in nodules with indeterminate FNAC results. The Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristics (AUROC) of the diagnostic accuracy with a benign or malignant nature was 81.3% (p < 0.001), 78.7% (p = 0.014), and 56.8% (p = 0.52) for nodules with FNAC results of atypia, which is suspicious for malignancy and follicular neoplasm, respectively. In conclusion, quantification of cytological features could be used to develop a computer-aided tool for diagnosing PTC in thyroid nodules with indeterminate FNAC results.

Objective. The aim of this study was to explore whether iodine nutrition is associated with the risk of thyroid nodules among adult population in Zhejiang Province, China. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the general population aged 18 years or older. A total of 2,710 subjects received physical examination, questionnaires, and thyroid ultrasonography. Urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and thyroid hormone levels were measured and documented for each subject. 4 multiple logistic regression models adjusted for other risk factors were applied to analyze the association between iodine nutrition and thyroid nodules. Results. The prevalence of thyroid nodules was 15.5% among all adults. As indicated by all 4 models, subjects with UIC varying from 200 μg l−1 to 399 μg l−1 had lower risk of thyroid nodules compared with those with relatively low UIC (<100 μg l−1), with approximately 37–57 percent reduction in risk. Moreover, subjects with UIC between 100 and 199 μg l−1 had a decreased risk of thyroid nodules in model 1 and 2 (OR = 0.75, 95% CI, 0.58–0.97; OR = 0.75, 95% CI, 0.58–0.97, respectively). However, there was no significant difference of risk in thyroid nodules between subjects with high UIC (≥400 μg l−1) and low UIC (<100 μg l−1). Furthermore, intake of iodized salt was inversely associated with risk of thyroid nodules, with approximately 69–77 percent reduction in risk. Conclusion. The relationship between UIC and the risk of thyroid nodules is U-shaped. Consumption of noniodized salt is an independent risk factor of thyroid nodules.

Objectives To evaluate the risks of neoplasm and malignancy in surgically treated cystic parotid masses compared with solid or mixed lesions and to evaluate the performance of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in parotid cysts. Study Design Retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting Single-institution academic tertiary care center. Subjects and Methods Patients without a history of human immunodeficiency virus or head and neck cancer who underwent parotidectomy for parotid masses and had preoperative imaging to characterize lesions as cystic, solid, or mixed (ie, partially cystic and partially solid). We assessed the risks of neoplasia and malignancy, adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, facial nerve weakness, and history of malignancy. We also evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of FNA. Results We included 308 patients, 27 of whom had cystic parotid masses (5 simple and 22 complex). Cystic masses were less likely to be neoplastic compared to solid or mixed masses (44% vs 97%; odds ratio [OR], 0.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.01-0.07); however, there was no difference in the risk of malignancy (22% vs 26%; OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.32-2.10). Cystic masses were more likely to yield nondiagnostic FNA cytology results, but for diagnostic samples, FNA was 86% sensitive and 33% specific for diagnosing neoplasia and 75% sensitive and 83% specific for diagnosing malignancy. Conclusion In our population, cystic masses undergoing surgery were less likely to be neoplastic but had a similar risk of malignancy as solid masses. The risk of malignancy should be considered in the management of cystic parotid masses.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the adaptability and reproducibility of the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (BSRTC) in a local setting and to determine the risk of malignancy for each category. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study of 80 thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology cases using the BSRTC with corresponding histopathology was done between September 2009 and December 2012. Agreement scores were calculated using kappa statistics. Results: Consensus among two readers was attained for 73 cases (91.25%). No disagreement was noted for the malignant cases. The strength of agreement was very good, with a kappa statistic of 0.90. The risk of malignancy observed histologically was as follows: benign 3%, atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) 50%, suspicious for follicular/Hürthle cell neoplasm 50%, suspicious for malignancy 78%, and malignant 100%. Conclusion: In this study, there is an outstanding reproducibility for the classification scheme. The application of the BSRTC as the standardized reporting is readily adaptable and therefore its application in larger medical centers is highly recommended. Our findings of a higher risk of malignancy seen in AUS (50%) and malignant (100%) categories in those who underwent surgical resection corroborated other published studies. Conveying this risk to clinical colleagues is important and will facilitate optimal patient care.

Thyroid Malignancies

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of thyroid malignancies continues to remain a challenge, due to lack of specificity with various modalities, and intrinsic variability with clinical examination. Although histopathological diagnosis is confirmatory, there is a need for pre-surgical assessment and confirmation, which will prove to be useful in decision making regarding the course of management. The present study was carried out to evaluate the validity of various modalities for detection of thyroid malignancies. METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out among 40 patients who presented to the outpatient clinic with thyroid nodules. All the participants were evaluated by ultrasound, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and sestamibi scintigraphy. All the participants were taken up for surgery and the resected specimen was sent for histopathology for confirmatory diagnosis. RESULTS Ultrasound and FNAC detected malignancy in 25 % of the participants, while sestamibi scintigraphy detected malignancy in 30 % of the participants. Based on histopathology, the gold standard confirmatory test, malignancy was detected in 35 % of the participants. It was observed that the sensitivity was highest for FNAC (75 %) followed by TC methoxyisobutylisonitrile (TC MIBI) (50 %). Specificity was highest for FNAC (95 %) followed by ultrasound (88 %) (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS FNAC has the highest sensitivity and specificity while ultrasound and sestamibi have comparable specificity. There is a high probability of malignancy when the delayed image in sestamibi scintigraphy shows retention. MIBI may prove to be useful in differentiating benign and malignant follicular lesions.

Objective. To determine the role of imaging-cytology correlation in reducing false negative results of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) at thyroid nodules.Methods. This retrospective study included 667 nodules 1 cm or larger in 649 patients diagnosed as benign at initial cytologic evaluation and that underwent follow-up ultrasound (US) or FNA following a radiologist’s opinion on concordance between imaging and cytologic results. We compared the risk of malignancy of nodules classified into subgroups according to the initial US features and imaging-cytology correlation.Results. Among included nodules, 11 nodules were proven to be malignant (1.6%) in follow-up FNA or surgery. The malignancy rate was higher in nodules with suspicious US features (11.4%) than in nodules without suspicious US features (0.5%,P<0.001). When a thyroid nodule had discordant US findings on image review after having benign FNA results, malignancy rate increased to 23.3%, significantly higher than that of nodules with suspicious US features (P<0.001). However, no significant difference was found in the risk of malignancy between the nodules without suspicious US features (0.5%) and imaging-cytology concordant nodules (0.6%,P=0.438).Conclusions. Repeat FNA can be effectively limited to patients with cytologically benign thyroid nodules showing discordance in imaging-cytology correlation after initial biopsy, which reduces unnecessary repeat aspirations.
