Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada her hangi bir
şikayet veya tiroid kanseri için belirgin bir risk faktörü olmaksızın çekilen
tiroid USG’lerinin faydasını belirlemeyi hedefledik.

Yöntem: Tiroid kanseri için her hangi bir
ailesel veya kişisel risk faktörü olmayan 1198 asemptomatik bireyin çekilmiş
olan tiroid USG sonuçları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Tüm USG ler aynı
radyolog tarafından yapılmıştı. Tiroid nodülleri American Thyroid Association (ATA)-2015 kılavuzuna göre
sınıflandırılmıştı.

Bulgular: ATA-2015 kriterlerine göre saptanan nodüllerin %5’i (n=61)
yüksek risk grubunda iken %27’si (n=325) orta risk grubunda idi. Yüzde 3 (n=33)’ü
ise malignite açısından düşük riskli grupta idi.

Sonuç: Tiroid kanserini saptamada USG
tek başına güvenilir bir metod olmayabilir. Kişisel/ailevi anamnez ve risk
faktörleri tiroid USG’sinin daha güvenilir olabileceği vakaları seçmede
yardımcı olabilirler.

Abstract

Objective: In this study we aimed to
determine whether thyroid USG is useful in the absence of any complaints and
prominent self/family history or risk of thyroid pathology.

Method: Thyroid USG results of 1198
asymptomatic adults, who had no self or family history of any thyroid
pathology, were retrospectively included. In all cases USG was done by the same radiologist.
Thyroid nodules were classified based on their sonographic characteristics
suspicious for malignancy according to American Thyroid Association
(ATA)-2015 guideline.

Results: Based on ATA-2015 criteria 5% (n=61) detected
nodule with high risk and 27% (n=325) detected nodule with intermediate risk
for malignancy. Three percent (n=33) had nodules with low risk for malignancy
based on USG findings.

Conclusions: USG alone may not be a
decisive screening tool for thyroid carcinoma.
Personal/family history and risks may guide in which cases thyroid USG
would be more reliable.
