Accurate thyroid nodule diagnosis is crucial for identifying cancer, which occurs in 10-30% of surgically removed nodules. A comprehensive investigation algorithm improves surgical outcomes for both cancerous and benign thyroid conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Thyroid nodules are common, with a significant percentage (10-30%) being malignant.
  • Accurate cancer identification is essential for appropriate patient management.
  • Current assessment methods require a multi-disciplinary approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an optimized investigation algorithm for thyroid nodules.
  • To improve the accuracy of differentiating benign from malignant nodules.
  • To guide differentiated surgical strategies for thyroid pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 2,289 operated thyropathies over two decades.
  • Inclusion of anamnesis, physical examination, functional tests, and thyroid imaging.

  • Emphasis on fine-needle aspiration biopsy and intraoperative morphological assessment.
  • Development of a pre- and intraoperative diagnostic algorithm.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed algorithm facilitated improved surgical outcomes for thyroid cancers.
    • Enabled low-risk surgical conditions for benign nodule resection.
    • Aimed to prevent unnecessary surgeries for benign thyroid conditions.
    • Successfully managed a large cohort of patients with diverse thyroid pathologies.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive, multi-disciplinary algorithm is vital for accurate thyroid nodule assessment.
    • Differentiated surgical approaches based on morphological findings optimize patient care.
    • This strategy enhances thyroid cancer surgery and avoids non-essential procedures for benign nodules.
