Abstract

Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the combination of elastic imaging (EI) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for thyroid nodules with ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (US-FNAC) as grade 2 or 3 lesions.

Methods

The thyroid nodules were punctured with fine needle. According to the results of US-FNAC diagnosis, EI and IHC were used to analyze the nodule of grade 2 and grade 3 lesions before operation, and the results were compared with the pathological results after operation. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of independent US-FNAC and combined US-FNAC+EI+IHC diagnosis for benign and malignant thyroid nodules were compared.

Results

Retrospective analysis of preoperative FNA diagnosis in patients undergoing thyroidectomy showed 66 patients (70 nodules) with grade 2 lesions and 64 patients (64 nodules) with grade 3 lesions. The comparison of the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules of grade 2 or 3 between US-FNAC and US-FNAC combined with EI and IHC were 84.75% vs 91.53% (χ²=1.297, P=0.255), 81.33% vs 92.00% (χ²=3.692, P=0.055), 78.13% vs 90.00% (χ²=3.228, P=0.072), 87.14% vs 93.24% (χ²=1.525, P=0.217), 82.84% vs 91.79% (χ²=4.851, P=0.028), respectively. The difference of accuracy between independent and combined diagnosis was statistically significant. The consistency between combined diagnosis and histopathology (Kappa=0.863, P<0.01) was higher than that between US-FNAC independent diagnosis and histopathology (Kappa=0.711, P<0.01).

Conclusion

The accuracy of diagnosis of thyroid nodule of grade 2-3 can be improved by using EI and IHC analysis before operation.
