Abstract

Objectives: Appropriate assessment of thyroid nodules which are commonly seen in the population is important for giving the decision of follow-up or surgery. In fact, serum calcitonin (SC) level is a sensitive and specific method in the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the value of screening with SC in patients with cytology of Bethesda I(nondiagnostic-ND) and III (atypia of undetermined significance -AUS). Materials and Methods: The preoperative SC, cytology results, and postoperative histopathology reports of patients who had thyroidectomy between 2007-2018 in our institution were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Of the 6905 thyroidectomized patients, 881 had SC values. Patients were classified as Group 1, 2, and 3 according to SC 10pg/mL; respectively. Of these patients, 217(24.63%) had ND and 275(31.21%) had AUS cytology. The gender distribution was similar between the two groups(p=0.700). However, SC was found as 84.79%, 14.29%, and 0.92% of 1, 2, and 3 groups in patients with ND, it was found as 82.91%, 15.64%, and 1.45% in patients with AUS, respectively(p=0.786). In histopathology, malignancy was detected in 30% of patients with AUS and 11.60% with ND(p=0.006). Calcitonin of patients with malignant histopathology was evaluated in 82.90%, 15.38%, and 1.70% as Group 1, 2, and 3, respectively which was similar compared to patients with benign histopathology(p=0.160). Two female patients had very high SC(144pg/ml and 655pg/mL). Both patients had AUS cytology and malignant histopathologies. Conclusion: We think that the assessment of SC can be useful in the treatment decision of patients especially with Bethesda III nodules.

Özet

Amaç: Toplumda sık görülen tiroid nodüllerinin iyi değerlendirilmesi takip veya cerrahi kararı için önemlidir. Serum kalsitonin(SK) düzeyi aslında medüller tiroid kanseri(MTK) tanısı için duyarlı ve özgül bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışmamızda sitolojisi Bethesda I(tanısal olmayan-TO) ve III(önemi belirsiz atipi-ÖBA) olan hastalarımızda SK ile taramanın değerini irdelemeyi amaçladık.Materyal ve Metot: Kliniğimizde 2007-2018 tarihleri arasında tiroidektomi yapılan hastalar arasından preoperatif SK düzeyi bakılanların sitoloji ve histopatoloji sonuçları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Opere olan 6905 hasta içinde SK değeri olan hasta sayısı 881 idi. Kalsitonin değerleri 10 pg/mL olarak 3 ayrı grupta (sırasıyla; Grup 1,2 ve 3) sınıflandırıldı. Bu hastaların 217 (%24,63)’si TO, 275(%31,21)’i ÖBA idi. Her iki grupta da cinsiyet dağılımı benzerdi(p=0,700). Tanısal olmayan gruptaki hastaların %84,79’inde kalsitonin düzeyleri 1. , %14,29’unde 2. ve %0,92’u 3. grupta yer alırken, ÖBA’lı hastaların %82,91’i 1. , %15,64’ü 2. ve %1,45’i 3. grupta yer alıyordu(p=0,786). Önemi belirsiz atipi olan hastaların %30’unda histopatolojide malignite saptanırken, TO grubundaki hastaların %11,60’sındasaptandı(p=0,006). Histopatolojide malign saptanan hastalarda SK değerlerinin %82,90’ı 1., %15,38’i 2. ve %1,70’si 3. grupta iken benign saptanan hastalarla kıyaslandığında bu oranlar benzerdi(p=0,160). Çalışmada 2 kadın hastanın SK’i çok yüksekti (144 pg/mL ve 655 pg/mL). İki hastanın da sitolojisi ÖBA ve histopatolojisi maligndi.Sonuç: Özellikle Bethesda III tiroid nodüllerinde tedavi kararı verirken SK düzeyini bilmenin faydalı olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
