Aims: To compare fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) with imprinted gene detection in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Methods: A total of 34 patients (35 cases of thyroid nodules) were examined using fine-needle puncture biopsy under ultrasound guidance, and the biopsy tissues were examined by cytologic examination and imprinted gene detection. Combined with postoperative pathology and follow-up results, the diagnostic value and consistency of the two methods were analyzed and compared.Results: The detection of benign and malignant thyroid nodules by ARHI imprinted gene had a high consistency with FNAC, and ARHI imprinted gene detection had a higher detection rate, sensitivity, and accuracy.Conclusions: Imprinted gene detection has high accuracy and sensitivity in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. It provides a scientific reference for clinical treatment and should be incorporated into diagnostic protocols for thyroid tumor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
