Article Synopsis
  • Most thyroid nodules are benign, but differentiating between benign and malignant nodules can prevent unnecessary surgeries; this study focused on a genetic classifier's performance for indeterminate thyroid nodules in Southeast Asia.
  • The study involved 132 patients and utilized ThyroSeq v3 for molecular testing on FNA samples, revealing that 56% of the nodules were histologically malignant, with varying mutation characteristics compared to North American patients.
  • The genomic testing showed a 42% potential avoidance of surgery for patients with Bethesda category III-IV nodules, indicating that molecular testing was a stronger predictor of malignancy than traditional clinical factors.
