The Risk Stratification of Papillary Thyroid Cancer With AUS/FLUS by FNA

March 15, 2021 updated by: Shen Qu, Shanghai 10th People's Hospital

The Risk Stratification of Papillary Thyroid Cancer With Bethesda Category III（AUS/FLUS）by Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration（FNA）Could be Assisted by Tumor Size for Precision Treatment

Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and to assisted the precision treatment.

Methods:A total of 290 patients who underwent thyroidectomies or thyroid lobectomies from August 2015 to September 2020, following a diagnosis of Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) from preoperative thyroid FNA were investigated.

Groups: In order to investigate the clinopathologic characteristics, the patients, were grouped according to Cytology,Gender, Tumor size.

Detailed Description

Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and to assisted the precision treatment.

Methods:A total of 1739 cases diagnosed with Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) by FNA from August 2015 to September 2020 were reviewed, and 523 patients received thyroidectomy or lobectomy. 290 patients were diagnosed with PTC and investigated retrospectively.

Groups: In order to investigate the clinopathologic characteristics, the patients, were grouped according to Cytology,Gender, Tumor size.as follows:AUS and FLUS&AUS/FLUS;male and female; tumor size≤1cm and>1cm.
