Foram utilizados 40 cães, adultos, hígidos, distribuídos em 2 grupos: G1 - punção biópsia aspirativa; e G2 - biópsia com agulha "tru-cut". Cada grupo foi dividido em quatro subgrupos (Ga, Gb, Gc e Gd) com cinco animais cada, sendo estes orquiectomizados 3, 7, 14 e 62 dias após as biópsias PAAF ou "Tru-cut". O material colhido pela PAAF foi submetido à avaliação citológica, e o proveniente da biópsia "tru-cut" e orquiectomia submetidos à histopatologia. Foram avaliados os espermiogramas e mensuração de comprimento e largura do escroto e colhido o soro para pesquisa de anticorpo antiespermatozóides. Referente ao espermiograma e a mensuração do escroto não foram observados diferenças (p>0,05) significativas. A amostra direcionada para citologia e histologia obtida pelas duas técnicas foi considerada de quantidade suficiente para diagnóstico. Na histopatologia a PAAF apresentou menor área de lesão e reação inflamatória comparada a "tru cut", no entanto esta última apresentou maior quantidade de material, preservando a arquitetura dos túbulos seminíferos e interstício. Não foi observado diferença (p>0,05) na produção de anticorpos anti-espermatozóides, após as biopsias. Concluímos que apesar das biópsias fornecerem material em qualidade e quantidade adequadas, e da PAAF ter se mostrado menos traumática, a escolha da técnica a ser empregada dependerá da finalidade para o qual o material se destina. / Abstract: The aim of this study it was evaluate hystologicaly the testicular biopsies in dogs obtained by aspirative puncture by fine needle and "tru-cut". Forty males dogs, adults, healthies were used, distributed in 2 groups: G1 - Fine Needle aspiration; and G2- biopsy by "Tru-cut". Each group were shared in four groups (Ga, Gb, Gc e Gd) with 5 animals each, and all of then were orchiectomized after 3, 7, 14, 62 days after the biopsies by FNA and "tru-cut" being performed. The samples collected by FNA were submitted to cytology evaluate, and the sample from tru-cut biopsy and orchiectomy submitted to histopathology. The spermiograms were evaluated, the testicular length and with were measure, and the animal's blood were collected to the anti-sperm antibody quantification. About the spermogram and measurement of scrotal bag any significative difference was observed (p>0,05). The sample to cytology and histology obtained from two techniques showed be in quantity enough to diagnostic. In histopathology, the biopsy FNA showed smaller damage area and inflammatory reaction compared to tru-cut, however this one showed biggest quantity of material, preserving the seminiferous tubules architeture and interstitium. It was not observed significative difference at anti-sperm antibodies production. We concluded that althought the biopsies provide material in quantity and quality appropriate, and the PAAF showed less traumatic, the choose of the technique to be used will depend the purpose for which the material is intended. / Doutor

Nódulos de tireoide são achados clínicos comuns e, atualmente, o método diagnóstico de escolha para diferenciar lesões benignas de lesões malignas é a análise citopatológica dos nódulos através de punção aspirativa por agulha fina (PAAF). Estudos prévios já indicaram que os níveis séricos de TSH podem estar associados ao risco de malignidade nodular. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se o TSH sérico é um preditor de malignidade em nódulos de tireoide em pacientes submetidos à PAAF. A amostra contemplou 100 indivíduos puncionados consecutivamente no Centro de Pronto Diagnóstico Ambulatorial, CPDA, HCPA e que apresentavam níveis de TSH dentro da normalidade. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à PAAF da tireoide com controle ultrassonográfico e tiveram, posteriormente, a análise citopatológica da PAAF e a avaliação histopatológica do bloco celular. A análise estatística baseou-se em dados de frequências e testes não-paramétricos foram utilizados para correlacionar as variáveis. A população de estudo foi composta por 100 pacientes, sendo 89 mulheres e 11 homens. A média de idade foi de 54,1 ± 14,2 anos e o tamanho médio dos nódulos foi de 2.53 ± 1.36 centímetros. Vinte e seis % destes pacientes apresentavam algum tipo de doença tireoidiana prévia. A média do nível de TSH sérico entre os 100 indivíduos foi de 1.81 ± 1.08 uUI/mL. De acordo com o diagnóstico citopatológico da PAAF complementado pelos achados do bloco celular foram classificados como malignos 8% dos nódulos, 70% benignos, 11% suspeitos/ indeterminados, 8% insuficientes e 3% lesões foliculares. A média de TSH para os grupos maligno, benigno, suspeito/indeterminado, insuficiente e lesão folicular foi de, respectivamente, 2.48, 1.59, 2.21, 2.35 e 2.20 uUI/ml (p>0.05). Não houve diferença estatística significante entre os grupos diagnósticos avaliados, apesar de haver uma variação entre os níveis de TSH entre os grupos refletindo, provavelmente, o pequeno tamanho da amostra. / Thyroid nodules are common and currently the first choice of investigation in distinguishing benign from malignant disease is the cytological analysis of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Previous studies have indicated that serum TSH levels might be associated with the likelihood of malignancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether serum TSH is a predictor of malignancy of thyroid nodules in patients undergoing FNAB. One hundred consecutive patients, who underwent FNAB as part of clinical investigation of thyroid nodule in a multidisciplinary setting tertiary hospital, underwent ultrasonography followed by FNAB, cytology and cell block analysis. Independent-Samples Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the groups. The study population comprised of 89 female and 11 male patients. The mean age was 54.1 ± 14.2 years. 26% had previous thyroid disease. Mean TSH levels was 1.81 ± 1.08 uUI/mL and the mean nodule size was 2.53 ± 1.36cm. Final cytology/cell block diagnosis classified 8% as malignant, 70% as benign, 11% suspicious/indeterminate, 8% insufficient and 3% follicular lesion. The mean TSH values for malignant, benign, suspect, insufficient and follicular lesion group were as follows: 2.48, 1.59, 2.21, 2.35 and 2.20 uUI/ml, respectively. No statistical significance was detected between TSH levels and final cytology/cell block diagnosis, possibly reflecting the small sample size (P>0.05). We observed a variation between TSH levels among the groups covered in this study, but there was no statistically significant difference among them.

Background: Reported results for thyroid nodule fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology mainly originate from tertiary centers. However, thyroid nodule FNA cytology is mainly performed in primary care settings for which the distribution of FNA Bethesda categories and their respective malignancy rates are largely unknown. Therefore, this study investigated FNA cytology malignancy rates of a large primary care setting to determine to what extent current evidence-based strategies for the malignancy risk stratification of thyroid nodules are applied and applicable in such primary care settings. Methods: In a primary care setting, 9460 FNAs of thyroid nodules were retrospectively analyzed from 8380 patients evaluated by one cytologist (I.R.) during a period of two years. The 8380 FNA cytologies were performed by 64 physicians in different private practices throughout Germany in primary care settings. Results: The cytopathologic results were classified according to theBethesda Systemas non-diagnostic in 19%, cyst/ cystic nodule in 21%, benign (including thyroiditis) in 48%, atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) in 6%, follicular neoplasms/suspicious for follicular neoplasm (FN/SFN) in 4%, suspicious for malignancy (SFM) in 1%, and malignant in 1%. The proportion of patients proceeding to surgery or with a follow-up of at least one year and the observed risks of malignancy were 22%/8% for AUS/FLUS, 69%/ 17% for FN/SFN, 78%/86% for SFM, and 71%/98% for malignant. For 112 cytologically suspicious and malignant FNAs, there were 102 true positives and 10 false positives, considering histology as gold standard. Conclusion: At variance with other data mostly originating from tertiary centers, these data demonstrate low percentages for malignant, SFM, FN/SFN, and AUS/FLUS, and high percentages for cysts/cystic nodules in this primary care setting in Germany. The risks of malignancy for malignant, SFM, AUS/FLUS, and FN/SFN FNA cytologies are according to Bethesda recommendations.:1 ABKÜRZUNGSVERZEICHNIS ............................................................................................................... 1 2 EINFÜHRUNG .......................................................................................................................................... 2 2.1 DAS ORGAN SCHILDDRÜSE ................................................................................................................................ 3 2.1.1 Anatomie der Schilddrüse ......................................................................................................................... 3 2.1.2 Funktion der Schilddrüse .......................................................................................................................... 3 2.2 SCHILDDRÜSENKNOTEN ..................................................................................................................................... 4 2.2.1 Epidemiologie der Schilddrüsenknoten .............................................................................................. 4 2.2.2 Ätiologie der Schilddrüsenknoten ......................................................................................................... 4 2.2.3 Jodversorgung in Deutschland ................................................................................................................ 5 2.2.4 Symptomatik der Schilddrüsenknoten ................................................................................................ 5 2.2.5 Diagnostik von Schilddrüsenknoten ..................................................................................................... 6 2.2.6 Die Feinnadelaspirationszytologie (FNA) ......................................................................................... 9 2.2.7 Therapeutisches Management ............................................................................................................ 11 2.3 DIE ABLEITUNG DER RATIONALE .................................................................................................................. 13 3 PUBLIKATIONSMANUSKRIPT ........................................................................................................ 14 4 ZUSAMMENFASSUNG ......................................................................................................................... 22 4.1 SCHLUSSFOLGERUNG ....................................................................................................................................... 26 5 LITERATURVERZEICHNIS ................................................................................................................ 28 6 ANLAGEN ............................................................................................................................................... 33 6.1 TABELLE 1: MALIGNITÄTSRISIKO NACH SONOGRAPHISCHEM ERSCHEINUNGSBILD UND FNA INDIKATION FÜR SCHILDDRÜSENKNOTEN (36) ........................................................................................................... 33 6.2 TABELLE 2: DAS BETHESDA SYSTEM FOR REPORTING THYROID CYTHOPATHOLOGY.

Introduction: Effusion cytology can be performed for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of malignant disease. A common analysis of effusion cytology samples is the May Grunwald Giemsa stain.    Aim: The aim of the study was to compare May Grunwald Giemsa stain and May Grunwald Giemsa Quick Stain in order to determine the best quality stain and suggest ways to improve the current staining protocol.     Materials and Methods: The methods used in this study are the routine laboratory’s standard procedures for  May-Grunwald Giemsa stain and May-Grunwald Giemsa Quick Stain but with adapted washing steps that investigates the effect of tap water, distilled water, and phosphate buffer on stain quality. Two pleural effusion samples were stained in the initial experiment and two pleural effusions and one ascites sample in the second experiment.    Results and Conclusion: All samples gave a greater score when stained with May-Grunwald Giemsa Quick Stain compared to traditional May-Grunwald Giemsa stain. For the traditional May-Grunwald Giemsa, the use of any of the three phosphate buffers scores higher than the routine washing where tap water is used. In conclusion, it would be of benefit to further investigate and implement phosphate buffer in traditional staining or proceed with the May-Grunwald Quick Stain for all pleural and ascites effusions.

Hinsichtlich einer effizienten Nachsorge von Melanompatienten existieren entsprechende Empfehlungen, aber auch widersprüchliche Stellungnahmen hinsichtlich Intervalllänge und Umfang der Nachsorge. Das Melanom ist einer der malignen Tumoren mit den am schnellsten steigenden Inzidenzraten, was auch eine Steigerung der Mortalität bedingt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden neue diagnostische Strategien geprüft und in ein vorbestehendes Melanomnachsorgeschema aufgenommen, um Patientenbetreuung, die frühe Entdeckung von Metastasen, aber auch die Raten an rezidivfreiem - und Gesamtüberleben zu verbessern. In einer großen prospektiven Studie von 4 Jahren Dauer konnte der Ultraschall von Lymphknoten, Weichteilgewebe und in transit Strecken eher als die rein klinische Untersuchung Metastasen entdecken und führte auf diese Weise zu einer Verbesserung des rezidivfreien- und des Gesamtüberlebens. Die Feinnadelaspirationszytologie (FNAC) wurde in einer weltweit, zahlenmäßig führenden Studie durchgeführt um die verdächtigten Läsionen tatsächlich zu diagnostizieren. Dies geschah hierbei nahezu nicht-invasiv. Hohe Zahlen an Sensitivität und Spezifität dieser Methode konnten erreicht werden und eine Diagnose konnte auch in sehr kleinen Läsionen oder solchen in einer schwierigen Position etabliert werden. Bei letzteren Läsionen erwies sich auch die Hinzunahme einer ultraschallgesteuerten Drahtmarkierung als nützliches Procedere. Auf diese Weise konnte die Exzision dieser Läsionen in komplizierter Lage vereinfacht werden. Eine weitere Studie untersuchte die begleitende Anwendung der Untersuchung einer seriellen reverse Transskriptase Polymerasekettenreaktion (RT-PCR) zum Nachweis von Tyrosinase aus peripherem Blut von Hochrisikomelanompatienten. Patienten, die im Blut mindestens einmal positiv getestet wurden, zeigten ein signifikant höheres Risiko, krankheitsspezifisch am Melanom zu versterben, als Patienten, die stets ein negatives Resultat aufwiesen. Die Tyrosinase RT-PCR Untersuchungen konnten auch an geringen Mengen Material wie Feinnadelaspiraten oder dem Feinnadelpunktaten des Sentinel Node erfolgreich durchgeführt werden. Alle aufgezeigten Methoden erwiesen sich als effektiv und wurden deswegen in das bestehende Nachsorgeprogramm der Melanompatienten an der Charité, Berlin aufgenommen. / There exist recommendations but also controversies about the necessity and effectiveness of a distinctive melanoma follow-up programme. Melanoma is one of the fastest increasing malignant tumours with increasing rates of incidence and mortality. In this work new strategies are implemented in a pre-existing melanoma follow-up schedule in order to ameliorate the care for patients, the detection of metastases and the relapse-free and overall survival rates. In a large prospective study taking four years the ultrasound of lymph nodes, soft tissues and in transit distances was shown to earlier detect recurrences than the clinical examination thus significantly enhancing recurrence-free and overall survival. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has been performed in a large, worldwide leading study to verify the suspected lesions in a nearly non-invasive way. High percentages in sensitivity and specificity could be achieved also in small lesions or lesions in an unfavourable localization. The latter lesions have been shown to be better detectable by a marking procedure. An anchor wire has been sonographically placed within such a lesion to improve the successful excision. A further study examined the value of serial RT-PCR testing from peripheral blood in melanoma patients. Patients, who have been tested at least once positive, had a higher risk ratio to die disease-specifically from melanoma. This result has been highly significant. RT-PCR examinations could also be applied in small amounts of material such as fine needle aspirations or material of FNA C of the sentinel node. All modalities could be proven to be effective and therefore are included in the melanoma follow-up programme of the Charité, Humboldt University of Berlin.

Os nódulos de tireoide são frequentemente encontrados na prática clínica e, com o auxílio de ultrassonografia de alta resolução, podem ser identificados em 17 a 67% da população. A alta prevalência desses nódulos causa preocupação frequente aos pacientes e aos clínicos devido ao risco de malignidade, o que, por sua vez, leva a investigações laboratoriais de alto custo, invasivas e, eventualmente, a cirurgias desnecessárias. A punção aspirativa com agulha fina (PAAF) é o método diagnóstico pré-operatório mais preciso para identificação de um nódulo maligno de tireoide, mas não consegue excluir malignidade nos casos de citologia inadequada, nódulos com diagnóstico citológico de lesão folicular ou atipia de significado indeterminado e nas citologias sugestivas de neoplasia folicular. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as características clínicas, laboratoriais, ultrassonográficas e citológicas de uma população de pacientes com nódulos de tireoide submetidos a tireoidectomia e a relação entre estes achados e o risco de malignidade. Além disto, em relação aos nódulos malignos, verificar se o valor de TSH esteve associado a um estadiamento mais avançado da doença. Foram avaliados prontuários de 353 pacientes submetidos a tireoidectomia, acompanhados no Hospital das Clínicas da FMUSP de São Paulo, no período de fevereiro de 2002 a abril de 2010. O número total de nódulos nestes pacientes foi 392. As características clínicas e laboratoriais analisadas em cada paciente foram idade, sexo, valores séricos de TSH e T4 livre, presença de anticorpo anti-tireoperoxidase (anti- TPO) e anti-tireoglobulina (anti-TG). Foram avaliadas a presença de características ultrassonográficas sugestivas de benignidade (presença de halo periférico hipoecoico, aparência espongiforme, aspecto isoecóico ou hiperecoico) e de malignidade (nódulo sólido hipoecoico, contornos irregulares, presença de microcalcificações). Baseados nestas características, os nódulos foram classificados em benignos, indeterminados e suspeitos para malignidade. O diagnóstico citológico foi classificado em benigno, indeterminado, suspeito e maligno, e a análise combinada das características ultrassonográficas e citológicas também foi avaliada. Ao exame histopatológico, 200 nódulos eram malignos e 192 nódulos eram benignos. Os nossos resultados mostraram que sexo, idade, valores séricos de TSH e T4 livre e presença de anticorpo anti-TPO e anti-TG não estiveram associados a uma maior chance de malignidade. O valor de TSH sérico também não esteve associado a maior risco de recorrência ou estadiamento mais avançado nos pacientes com câncer Os nódulos maiores estiveram mais associados a benignidade quando avaliamos toda amostra. Na análise multivariada de toda amostra, após regressão logística, apenas a citologia maligna, hipoecogenicidade e presença de microcalcificações foram associados a malignidade. Já, a classificação ultrassonográfica que não se baseia em apenas uma característica mas em um conjunto de características, apresentou um alto valor preditivo de benignidade e foi útil na identificação de nódulos com citologia indeterminada. A classificação ultrassonográfica tem o potencial de reduzir o número de cirurgias para nódulos com citologia indeterminada / Thyroid nodules are often encountered in clinical practice, and with the use of high-resolution ultrasound may be identified in 17 to 67% of the population. The high prevalence of these nodules cause frequent concern to patients and clinicians due to the risk of malignancy, wich in turn leads on costly investigations, use of invasive diagnostic methods and sometimes unnecessary surgeries. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the most accurate preoperative diagnostic method to identify a malignant thyroid nodule. However, FNAB cannot rule out malignancy in cases of inadequate cytology, follicular lesions, atypia of undetermined significance, and in cytology suggestive of follicular neoplasm. The aim of this study was to analyze clinical, laboratory, ultrasound and cytopathologic characteristics of a group of patients with thyroid nodules undergoing thyroidectomy and the relationship between serum levels of TSH and the risk of malignancy. In nodules found to be malignant in this cohort, we analyzed the association of TSH levels with advanced disease stage and risk of recurrence. We analyzed the records of 353 patients who were followed at Hospital das Clínicas - São Paulo Medical School, between February 2002 and April 2010, and who subsequently underwent thyroidectomy. The total number of nodules in these patients was 392. The clinical and laboratory characteristics included in the analysis were age, gender, serum levels of TSH and free T4, and presence of serum thyroid anti-peroxidase (anti-TPO) and anti-thyroglobulin (anti-TG) antibodies. We evaluated the presence of ultrasonographic features suggestive of benignity (isoechoic or hyperechoic appearance, presence of hypoechoic peripheral halo, spongiform appearance) and malignancy (hypoechoic appearance, irregular border, presence of microcalcifications). Based on these ultrasonographic characteristics, we classified the nodules as benign, indeterminate or suspicious for malignancy. According to the FNAB cytology, we also subdivided the nodules into benign, indeterminate, suspicious and malignant. The combined analysis of ultrasonographic features and cytopathology was also evaluated. On histopathology, 200 nodules were malignant and 192 were benign. Our results showed that gender, age, serum levels of TSH and free T4, as well as the presence of anti-TPO and anti-TG were not associated with increased risk of malignancy. Similarly, serum TSH value was not associated with increased risk of recurrence or more advanced stage in patients with thyroid cancer. A large nodule size was associated with benignity. In multivariate analysis, after logistic regression, only malignant cytology, hypoechoic appearance and presence of microcalcifications were associated with malignancy. Furthermore, the ultrasonographic classification, wich was not based in only one feature but in a set of characteristics, showed a high predictive value for benignity and seems to be useful in identifying nodules with indeterminate cytology at risk for malignancy. The use of ultrassonographic classification has the potential to reduce the number of surgeries for nodules with indeterminate cytology

Darbų apžvalgoje nagrinėjami sergamumo skydliaukės vėžiu pokyčiai Lietuvoje 1978 – 2003 metais bei sergamumo sąsajos su diagnostika. Sergamumas skydliaukės vėžiu Lietuvoje 1978-2003 metais didėjo ir vidutinis metinis pokytis vyrams siekė 4,2% (p<0,0001), o moterims - 6,1% (p<0,0001). Standartizuotas vyrų sergamumo rodiklis padidėjo nuo 0,7 atvejo 100 000 gyventojų 1978 metais iki 2,5 atvejo 100 000 gyventojų 2003 metais, o moterų – atitinkamai nuo 1,5 iki 11,4 atvejo 100 000 gyventojų. Mirtingumas nuo skydliaukės vėžio nagrinėjamu laikotarpiu nepakito. Nustatytas papilinės skydliaukės karcinomos padidėjimas 1978 – 2003 metų laikotarpiu. Didžiausią įtaką susirgimo skaičiaus pokyčiams turėjo skydliaukės vėžio atvejai diagnozuoti ankstyvosiose stadijose. Žymų sergamumo skydliaukės vėžiu padidėjimą 2002-2003 metais Lietuvoje galima susieti su pokyčiais skydliaukės mazgų diagnostikoje, tobulesnių ultragarsinių technologijų panaudojimu bei aktyviu ultragarsu kontroliuojamų aspiracinių biopsijų plona adata pritaikymu klinikinėje praktikoje. / The aim of this study is to analyse changes in thyroid cancer incidence trends in Lithuania during the period of 1978–2003 and the relationship between incidence and diagnostic strategies. Annual percentage changes in the age-standardized rates over this period were 4.2% (p<0.0001) and 6.1% (p<0.0001) for men and women, respectively, for all carcinomas combined. During study period the age-standardized incidence rates increased in males from 0.7 to 2.5 cases per 100000 and in females from 1.5 to 11.4 per 100000. Mortality due to thyroid cancer did not change during the period of 1978–2003. By histopathology, number of papillary thyroid carcinoma cases increased in 1998-2003. Also, there was increase in the number of early stages of thyroid cancer. The increase in thyroid cancer incidence in Lithuania seems to be mainly due to the changes in the management of thyroid nodules and increased usage of ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy in clinical practice.

A diferenciação entre os nódulos benignos e malignos da tireoide é possível na maioria das vezes pela citologia, obtida por punção aspirativa com agulha fina (PAAF). No caso das neoplasias foliculares (NFs), é necessária a remoção cirúrgica de ao menos parte da glândula, pois somente a análise histológica da peça permite diferenciar nódulos benignos de malignos. Há indícios na literatura de que os parâmetros de ultrassonografia com Doppler colorido (UDC) podem indicar maior ou menor probabilidade de malignidade nesses nódulos. Objetivo. Avaliar, nesta revisão sistemática, a acurácia diagnóstica da UDC em predizer malignidade em NFs da tireoide. Métodos. Foram pesquisadas as seguintes bases de dados: MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library e LILACS. As referências de estudos relevantes foram verificadas para adicionais citações de interesse. Não houve restrições de linguagem. Foram incluídos estudos nos quais nódulos de tireoide com padrão histológico compatível com NFs, confirmado por biópsia de peça cirúrgica, haviam sido previamente submetidos à UDC e cujos padrões de fluxo ao mapeamento colorido foram descritos detalhadamente. Dois revisores realizaram independentemente a avaliação da qualidade e a extração de dados. Resultados. Foram incluídos quatro estudos, somando 457 nódulos, sendo que 67 foram considerados malignos com base na biópsia cirúrgica. A presença à UDC de padrões de fluxo no interior do nódulo considerado como moderado, rico, predominante ou exclusivo foi indicativa de malignidade com uma sensibilidade média de 85 % (Intervalo de confiança [IC] 95%: 74% a 93%) e especificidade média de 86% (IC 95%: 82% a 89%). Para uma prevalência média de 14,7%, os valores preditivos positivo e negativo são respectivamente 51% e 97%. A razão de verossimilhança positiva é 6,07, e a razão de verossimilhança negativa 0,18. Conclusão. A UDC apresenta boa acurácia para identificar malignidade em NFs da tireóide. Fluxo interno predominante à UDC está associado a maior risco de malignidade nessas lesões. / Background. In most cases it is possible to differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid nodules through cytologic analysis of the fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) samples. However, in the case of follicular neoplasms (FNs), to determine whether such nodules are benign or malignant, it is necessary to perform a surgical biopsy, which requires the removal of at least part of the thyroid gland. There are clues in the literature that the parameters of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) may indicate a greater or lesser likelihood of malignancy in these nodules. Objective. The purpose of this systematic review was to obtain summary estimates of the diagnostic accuracy of CDU in predicting malignancy in thyroid FNs. Methods. We searched Medical Subject Headings together with the search terms “follicular,” “thyroid,” and “Doppler” in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Excerpta Medica databases as well as the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature database, after which we performed manual searches of the reference lists to locate additional studies. There were no language restrictions. We included studies that assessed the diagnostic accuracy of CDU in identifying malignancy in thyroid FNs. The assessments of the quality and extraction of data were performed by 2 independent reviewers. Results. We included 4 studies, which collectively evaluated 457 thyroid FNs, 67 of which had been classified as malignant based on the evaluation of surgical biopsy samples. Moderate, rich, predominant, or exclusive internal flow on CDU of thyroid FNs was considered indicative of malignancy. The overall sensitivity of CDU was 85% (95% confidence interval [CI], 74%–93%), with an overall specificity of 86% (95% CI, 82%–89%). The overall prevalence was 14.7%, and the positive and negative predictive values were 51% and 97%, respectively. The positive likelihood ratio was 6.07, and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.18. Conclusion. CDU has good accuracy for identifying malignancy in thyroid FN. Predominant internal flow seen on CDU is associated with malignancy of thyroid FN. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

Pode ser classificado em fenótipos, com diferentes prognósticos, com base na expressão de determinadas proteínas. O fenótipo luminal é o mais frequente, correspondendo a cerca de 70% dos casos, sendo que tratamentos específicos para este fenótipo de carcinoma de mama já estão em estudo, com melhora promissora do prognóstico das pacientes acometidas. Entretanto, ainda não foram definidos critérios citológicos que pudessem predizer este fenótipo no material obtido pela punção aspirativa por agulha fina (PAAF). OBJETIVO: Investigar critérios citológicos individuais presentes na PAAF que possam se associar com o diagnóstico do fenótipo luminal do carcinoma de mama. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo tipo corte-transversal, com componente descritivo e comparativo. As lâminas de PAAF e espécimes de carcinomas de mama invasivos ductais e lobulares, do período de 2000 a 2005, foram selecionados do arquivo do Laboratório de Patologia do Hospital Amaral Carvalho de Jaú/São Paulo, totalizando 297 casos. Dos blocos doadores foram extraídos cilindros de 2mm de diâmetro e depositados nos blocos de parafina receptores, usando Tissue Microarrays (Bencher Instruments®, Silver Spring, Maryland). Nestes cortes, foi feita a pesquisa imunoistoquímica para diferenciação dos fenótipos do carcinoma de mama, segundo a Classificação Molecular. As lâminas obtidas por PAAF, foram revisadas em microscópio de multiobservação (BX50 Olympus®, Japan), por dois médicos patologistas (RMD e FMN), sendo estudados individualmente os cinco critérios citológicos: celularidade, coesão celular, necrose, nucléolo e atipia nuclear. Utilizou-se o teste exato de Fisher para testar a associação entre os critérios citológicos e os fenótipos do carcinoma de mama. RESULTADOS: Dos 297 casos selecionados, 169 foram incluídos, resultando nos seguintes fenótipos - luminal A: 107 (63.3%), luminal B: 39 (23.1%), superexpressão de HER2: 8 (4.7%), e triplo negativo: 15 (8.9%). Os critérios citológicos que se associaram ao fenótipo luminal foram: celularidade baixa ou moderada (40.4%) (OR = 7.12, IC95%: 1.61 - 31.52), nucléolo inconspícuo ou presente (55.5%) (OR = 8.31, IC95%: 2.36 - 29.19) e atipia nuclear discreta ou moderada (44.5%) (OR = 8.42, IC95%: 1.90 - 37.25). Os critérios citológicos associados ao fenótipo luminal A foram: nucléolo inconspícuo ou presente (62.6%) (OR = 2.99, IC95%: 1.39 – 6.41), menor perda de coesão celular (OR = 0.46, IC95%: 0.24 - 0.88), mostrando grupamentos com coesão celular moderada a intensa, e ausência de necrose (40.2%) (OR = 0.32, IC95%: 0.15 – 0.68). CONCLUSÃO: Os critérios citológicos presentes nas lâminas obtidas por PAAF, e que mais se associaram ao fenótipo luminal do carcinoma de mama foram celularidade baixa e moderada, nucléolos inconspícuos ou pequenos e atipia nuclear leve a moderada. Cabe destacar, que para o fenótipo luminal A, os critérios citológicos que mais se associaram foram: nucléolos inconspícuos ou pequenos, coesão celular moderada a intensa e ausência de necrose. A distinção do fenótipo luminal é de relevância clínica, por apresentar melhor prognóstico, relacionado a menor mortalidade e menores taxas de metástase. / Breast carcinoma is a heterogeneous disease. It can be classified into phenotypes based on the expression of certain proteins, with differences in prognosis. The luminal phenotype is the most common, accounting for about 70% of cases. Some specific treatments for this phenotype of breast carcinoma are already being studied, which could improve prognosis of affected patients. However, there is currently no consensus on which cytological criteria could predict the luminal phenotype. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate which cytological criteria in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy are related with the luminal phenotype of breast carcinoma. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study with descriptive and comparative component from cases of breast carcinomas, from the Laboratory of Pathology, Hospital Amaral Carvalho de Jaú / São Paulo. FNA biopsy specimens and tissue sections (mastectomy specimens) of invasive ductal and lobular carcinomas of the breast, retrieved from 2000 to 2005, were selected and classified into phenotypes by immunohistochemistry, using tissue microarray technology (Bencher Instruments®, Silver Spring, Maryland): luminal A and B, HER2 overexpression and triple negative. The cytological criteria for all cases were reviewed blindly by two pathologists using a multiobserver microscope (BX50 Olympus®, Japan), according to five cytological criteria: cellularity, cell cohesion, necrosis, nucleoli and nuclear atypia. Exact Fisher test was used to test the association between cytological criteria and phenotypes of breast carcinoma. RESULTS: From 297 selected patients, 169 were included, resulting in the following phenotypes - luminal A: 107 (63.3%), luminal B: 39 (23.1%), HER2 overexpression: 8 (4.7%), and triple negative: 15 (8.9%). The luminal phenotype showed mild or moderate cellularity (40.4%) (OR = 7.12, 95% CI: 1.61 - 31.52), inconspicuous or present nucleoli (55.5%) (OR = 8.31, 95% CI: 2.36 - 29.19) and mild or moderate nuclear atypia (44.5%) (OR = 8.42, 95% CI: 1.90 - 37.25). Inconspicuous or present nucleoli (62.6%) (OR = 2.99, 95% CI: 1.39 - 6.41), less dishesive cells (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.24 - 0.88), showing clusters with moderate to intense cell cohesion (54.2%), and absence of necrosis (40.2%) (OR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.15 - 0.68) were associated with luminal A phenotype. CONCLUSION: The individual FNA cytological criteria that might indicate the luminal phenotype of breast cancer were mild to moderate cellularity, inconspicuous or little nucleoli and mild to moderate nuclear atypia. Inconspicuous or little nucleoli, moderate to intense cell cohesion and absence of necrosis were associated with luminal A phenotype. The distinction of luminal phenotype of breast carcinoma is clinically relevant, since it has better prognosis, related to lower mortality and lower metastases rate.
