Journal ArticleDOI

Screening of thyrotropin receptor mutations by fine-needle aspiration biopsy in autonomous functioning thyroid nodules in multinodular goiters.

TL;DR: Analysis of FMA samples of AFTN is an effective approach to identify TSHR gene mutations because individual mutations may be associated with different growth and function in vitro and this approach might, allow correlation of a given mutation with the clinical behavior in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Medullary Thyroid Nodules by Measurement of Calcitonin (Ct) in Aspiration Needle Washout in Patients with Multinodular Goiter and Moderately Elevated Serum Ct

TL;DR: For the first time in the best knowledge, 3 patients with multinodular goiter, moderately elevated serum Ct, high value of WO-Ct, and medullary outcome are reported, suggesting that in presence of high serumCt, FNAC should be performed in all nodules, and it should be combined with WO -Ct in all cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fine-needle aspiration to diagnose primary thyroid lymphomas: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that FNA has low sensitivity in diagnosing PTL, however, this rate increased when considering also FNA reports suspicious for P TL, which is relevant from a clinical standpoint and could support the use of additional imaging and/or core biopsy when PTL is suspected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of Italian Consensus for the Classification and Reporting of Thyroid Cytology (ICCRTC) in discriminating indeterminate lesions at low and high risk of malignancy. A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Italian consensus for the classification and reporting of thyroid cytology 2014 shows high reliability in discriminating indeterminate lesions at low risk of malignancy from those at high risk.
Journal Article

Interstitial photocoagulation with laser in the treatment of liver metastasis

TL;DR: ILP is a safe and well-tolerated procedure that causes tumor necrosis with local hyperthermia produced by laser light energy and cytologic findings were in agreement with CT results in all grade 2 and 3 cases, but in one grade 1 necrosis cytology showed residual viable tumor.
