Tests available are expensive and not adapted to different populations. Aim: This study aimed to compare the cyto-histological genetic profile and to evaluate the reliability of molecular tests using ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (US-FNAC) in accurately diagnosing differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTCs) and predicting biologic behavior of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). Materials and Methods: The series included 259 patients with paired cyto-histological samples totaling 518 samples. The genetic alterations were analyzed via PCR/Sanger sequencing. The association with clinicopathologic features was evaluated in PTCs. Results/Discussion: From the 259 patients included, histologies were 50 (19.3%) benign controls and 209 (80.7%) DTC cases, from which 182 were PTCs; cytologies were 5.8% non-diagnostic, 18.2% benign, 39% indeterminate, and 37.1% malignant. In histology, indeterminate nodules (n = 101) were 22.8% benign and 77.2% malignant. Mutation frequencies in cytology and histology specimens were, respectively, TERTp: 3.7% vs. 7.9%; BRAF: 19.5% vs. 25.1%; and RAS: 11% vs. 17.5%. The overall cyto-histological agreement of the genetic mutations was 94.9%, with Cohen’s k = 0.67, and in indeterminate nodules agreement was 95.7%, k = 0.64. The identified mutations exhibited a discriminative ability in diagnosing DTC with a specificity of 100% for TERTp and BRAF, and of 94% for RAS, albeit with low sensitivity. TERTp and BRAF mutations were associated with aggressive clinicopathological features and tumor progression in PTCs (p < 0.001). The obtained good cyto-histological agreement suggests that molecular analysis via US-FNAC may anticipate the genetic profile and the behavior of thyroid tumors, confirming malignancy and contributing to referring patients to surgery.NOVA Medical School|Faculdade de Ciências Médicas (NMS|FCM)RUNMatos, Maria de LurdesPinto, MafaldaAlves, MartaCanberk, SuleGonçalves, AnaBugalho, Maria JoãoPapoila, A.L.Soares, Paula2024-03-07T00:00:05Z2024-022024-02-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/164575eng2075-4418PURE: 84622533https://doi.org/10.3390/diagnostics14030278info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:53:14Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/164575Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T04:00:15.826770Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
