The role of thyroid sonographic malignancy risk features when the fine needle aspiration biopsy result is indeterminate.

Introduction: Although the role of the thyroid ultrasound is well established in the initial thyroid nodule work up, it is still equivocal whether the thyroid ultrasound pattern could have an impact on refining malignancy risk after an indeterminate cytopathology result. We aim to assess the possible supportive role of the thyroid nodule ultrasound malignancy risk features listed in the Polish guidelines when a biopsy result is indeterminate.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed thyroid ultrasound scans from 175 adult patients with thyroid nodules and indeterminate cytopathology results, who underwent thyroid surgery.

Thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytopathology: a constant challenge in everyday practice. The effectiveness of clinical decisions using diagnostic tools available in Poland.

Introduction: A crucial issue in the management of thyroid nodules is an accurate estimation of their malignancy risk. The key tool for risk stratification is fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Unfortunately, approximately 20% of biopsy results are indeterminate.

The association of tumor lymphocyte infiltration with clinicopathological factors and survival in breast cancer.

Recent studies have confirmed the role of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the level of tumor lymphocyte infiltration and well-known clinicopathological factors in breast cancer patients. We also evaluated the influence of TILs on overall survival.
