Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the malignancy rate of highly suspicious thyroid nodules (TR5) at a specific institution and analyze how various ultrasound features correlated with the likelihood of cancer.
- Out of 450 evaluated nodules, 95 (21.1%) were found to be malignant, indicating that the malignancy rate in this study was lower than previously reported rates.
- The research found that each additional TI-RADS point increased the odds of malignancy, with "very hypoechoic" nodules showing the highest predictive value for cancer, emphasizing that TR5 nodules represent a range of risk rather than a definitive category.
