Are the anatomical, clinical, and ultrasound characteristics of thyroid nodules with Bethesda III or IV cytology and ACR TI-RADS 3, 4, or 5 able to refine the indications for molecular diagnostic tests?

Are the anatomical, clinical, and ultrasound characteristics of thyroid nodules with Bethesda III or IV cytology and ACR TI-RADS 3, 4, or 5 able to refine the indications for molecular diagnostic tests?

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the association of clinical, anatomical, and ultrasound (US) characteristics of malignancies in Bethesda III or IV (III-B or IV-B) thyroid nodules. Subjects and methods: The association between malignancies and the following variables were analyzed: III-B or IV-B, ag...
