Thyroid nodule • Imaging • US • Scan if TSH is low • CT usually precedes referral • FNA • US-guided
Thyroid nodule • There are 3 ways to diagnose a thyroid nodule: • ultrasound guided FNA • ultrasound guided FNA • ultrasound guided FNA
Thyroid nodule • FNA result • Papillary carcinoma • Follicular LESION • Carcinoma • Adenoma • Adenomatous colloid nodule • Insufficient for diagnosis

Differentiated thyroid cancer • Staging • T1 - Tumor 2 cm or less in greatest dimension limited to the thyroid. • T2 - Tumor more than 2 cm, but not more than 4 cm, in greatest dimension limited to the thyroid. • T3 - Tumor more than 4 cm in greatest dimension limited to the thyroid. • T4a - Tumor of any size extending beyond the thyroid capsule to invade subcutaneous soft tissues, larynx, trachea, esophagus, or recurrent laryngeal nerve. • T4b - Tumor invades prevertebral fascia or encases carotid artery or mediastinal vessels.
Differentiated thyroid cancer • Staging • N1a - Metastasis to Level VI (pretracheal, paratracheal, and prelaryngeal/Delphian lymph nodes). • N1b - Metastasis to unilateral, bilateral, or contralateral cervical or superior mediastinal lymph nodes.

Prognosis (Mayo Clinic) • MACIS Prognostic score • Metastasis, Age, Completeness of resection, vascular Invasion, Size. • M + 3 if Metastasis is found • A = Age (y) x 0.08 • C + 1 if resection is inComplete • I + 1 if vascular invasion (pathologists report) • S 0.3 x largest diameter in centimeters (Size)
Prognosis (MSKCC) • Even more complicated scoring • Includes • Tumor grade • Lymph node involvement • multifocality
Thyroid operations • Lobectomy ± isthmus • Near total thyroidectomy • Total thyroidectomy • ± modified neck dissection for known involved lymph nodes
Operations for papillary carcinoma • Lobectomy (low risk) • Difficult to justify radical surgery for such a good prognosis cancer • Total/near total thyroidectomy (high risk) • Treatment with radioactive iodine-131 • Detection of distant metastases • Total thyroidectomy + modified neck dissection (known lymph node metastasis)
Operations for follicular carcinoma • Total thyroidectomy • Near total thyroidectomy • Treatment with radioactive iodine-131 • Detection of distant metastases
Adjuvant treatment • Scan for residual glandular tissue • I131 full body scan • Maximal TSH stimulation • Destruction of thyroid remnant • High dose I131 (Maximal TSH stimulation) • Treatment • High dose I131 (Maximal TSH stimulation) • Suppressive T4 for life • Follow up • Thyroglobulin (Tg) with maximal TSH stimulation • I131 full body scan as indicated by Tg
