Questions and Answers

What is the significance of the 2.5 cm cutoff point for fine needle aspiration (FNA) in mildly suspicious TR3 lesions?

  • It confirms the need for surgical intervention.
  • It is irrelevant in diagnosing thyroid conditions.
  • It indicates a high likelihood of thyroid carcinomas.
  • It signifies the presence of benign nodules. (correct)

    • Why is the 2.5 cm cutoff point specifically used in mildly suspicious TR3 lesions for FNA?

  • To identify when thyroid carcinomas show decreased survival rates. (correct)
  • To determine if immediate chemotherapy is required.
  • To differentiate between different types of benign thyroid nodules.
  • To predict the exact type of thyroid carcinoma present.

    • What do studies reveal about the relationship between thyroid carcinomas and their size in relation to the 2.5 cm cutoff point?

  • Thyroid carcinomas become undetectable once they exceed 2.5 cm.
  • Thyroid carcinomas have increased survival below 2.5 cm.
  • Thyroid carcinomas are always benign if smaller than 2.5 cm.
  • Thyroid carcinomas show no impact on survival until reaching 2.5 cm. (correct)

    • How does the 2.5 cm cutoff point help in managing mildly suspicious TR3 lesions with FNA?
