Abstract
The interobserver variability of thyroid fine needle aspirates using The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology - IJPO- Print ISSN No: - 2394-6784 Online ISSN No:- 2394-6792 Article DOI No:- 10.18231/j.ijpo.2020.015, Indian Journal of Pathology and Oncology-Indian J Pathol Oncol
Highlights
The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) is a six category scheme for reporting thyroid Fine Needle Aspirates (FNAs) and represents a major step towards a uniform reporting system for thyroid FNAs, enabling better understanding of thyroid cytopathology report by referring clinicians and providing rational management guidelines
To address terminology and other issues related to thyroid FNA, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) hosted the ”NCI Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration State of the Science Conference”, a multidisciplinary conference that took place in Bethesda, Maryland, United States in October 2007,that led to the formation of The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC), a six-category scheme for reporting thyroid cytopathology that recommends each report should begin with a general diagnostic category
The present study was carried out to analyse the cytological features of thyroid fine needle aspiration smears and categorise them by The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology; and to assess interobserver variability between two independent reporting pathologists using The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology
Summary
The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) is a six category scheme for reporting thyroid Fine Needle Aspirates (FNAs) and represents a major step towards a uniform reporting system for thyroid FNAs, enabling better understanding of thyroid cytopathology report by referring clinicians and providing rational management guidelines. The present study was carried out to analyse cytological features of thyroid FNAs and categorise them by The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology; and to assess interobserver variability between two independent reporting pathologists using the Bethesda system. In Indian perspective too, many studies have been carried out that have concluded TBSRTC to be an effective reporting system for thyroid FNA It improves perceptions of diagnostic terminology between cytopathologists and clinicians and provides clear management guidelines to the clinicians. The present study was carried out to analyse the cytological features of thyroid fine needle aspiration smears and categorise them by The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology; and to assess interobserver variability between two independent reporting pathologists using The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology
