The results of cytologic assessment of 2,287 aspirates from 2,200 patients with thyroid nodules (two thirds of which were "cold") are presented. The classification scheme proposed by Weiss and Pilz was used. The high predictive value of aspiration cytology in this clinical setting made it possible to limit surgical exploration to 10.6% of the patients examined.
本文展示了对2200例甲状腺结节患者的2287份穿刺样本进行细胞学评估的结果(其中三分之二为“冷”结节)。采用了Weiss和Pilz提出的分类方案。在这种临床情况下,穿刺细胞学检查具有较高的预测价值,使得接受手术探查的患者比例能够限制在受检患者的10.6%。
