Analysis of the influencing factors on fine-needle aspiration biopsy results of the thyroid

“…Very recently, Shumrick et al [22] carried out a study to compare the diagnostic capability between 25G and 27G needles for ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy of thyroid nodules, and they concluded that a 27G needle for FNBs yields better diagnostic information than 25G needles. Sengul et al [23][24][25][26][27] have recommended that Thy MIFNA with a 27G fine-needle could be applied in the ultrasonography-guided FNA procedure due to low rates of Category I (TBSRTC, 1st and 2nd editions.) and low severity of pain.…”

Apropos of quality for fine-needle aspiration cytology of thyroid nodules with 22-, 23-, 25-, even 27-gauge needles and indeterminate cytology in thyroidology: an aide memory

“…Less is more? 5 Volens nolens? 5 In addition, Dong et al 7 stated that they had handled "indeterminate cytology" as Categories III and IV, TBSRTC.…”

“…5 Volens nolens? 5 In addition, Dong et al 7 stated that they had handled "indeterminate cytology" as Categories III and IV, TBSRTC. Nevertheless, many authorities, even the 2015 ATA Management Guidelines for Adult Patients with Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer 15 , determined "indeterminate cytology" as thyroid nodules with the cytology of Categories III, IV, and V, TBSRTC, 2nd ed 14 , which additionally have the higher risk of malignancies (ROMs), regarding TBSRTC, 1st ed 13 , in thyroidology.…”
