[Adenomas of the thyroid gland]
Abstract:
Different methods of diagnosis and treatment of thyroid gland's adenomas are analyzed. Current surgical treatment of euthyroid goiter is reviewed. Basing on long-term studies, the role and place of special diagnostic methods (ultrasonic scanning and fine needle biopsy) and indications for their use and surgical treatment were determined. The proposed treatment and diagnostic algorithm reduces the number of unjustified surgeries. When elective histological examination reveals thyroid cancer, reoperation is not necessary. The groups of patients with confirmed diagnosis "thyroid adenoma" and high cancer risk were distinguished. Optimization of differential diagnosis of thyroid adenoma and cancer based on cytological and immunogenotypic tests will help determine indications to surgical treatment in adequate scope.
