Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on improving the diagnosis of thyroid cancers by evaluating the immunohistochemical markers CK-19, HBME-1, and galectin-3, comparing their effectiveness in distinguishing between malignant and nonmalignant thyroid lesions.
- - Out of 120 thyroid cases analyzed, 70 were nonmalignant and 50 were malignant, with papillary carcinoma being the most common type among malignancies.
- - Results showed that galectin-3 had the highest sensitivity for detecting malignancy (90%), while HBME-1 had the highest specificity (97.14%), indicating that using a combination of these markers can enhance diagnostic accuracy in challenging cases.
