EVALUATION OF RISK FACTORS FOR MALIGNANCY IN A SOLITARY THYROID NODULE
RAMI KAMAL ATIYA MORCOS;
Abstract
Abstract
The incidence of malignancy in STNs is quite significant and it is not very low as was thought before.
Thyroid cancer may be less frequent in MNG compared to STNs. No significant increase in the rate of carcinoma was observed in patients with STNs.
Multinodularity does not increase the risk of thyroid malignancy. However, patients with MNG who develop PTC are at an increased risk of cancer multifocality.
STNs with suspicious US criteria can be evaluated by elastography that seems to be a useful addition for the assessment of such indeterminate nodules.
