A Cross Section Study of Role of Serum TSH as A Biochemical Predictor of Malignancy in Suspicious Thyroid Swelling In the Tertiary Centre of Jharkhand
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Thyroid malignancies account for almost 90% of all the endocrine malignancies. The treatment strategy for these malignancies has undergone a tremendous change over the past few decades with the advent of multidisciplinary approach for early diagnosis and management. The incidence of thyroid malignancies has increased over the past three decades, however of the many patients who present with thyroid swelling only 5-6% of them are malignant. Hence detecting malignancy early in these patients and adequate surgical clearance will provide them with increased survival rates. A cross sectional study was conducted on 50 patients in the Department of General Surgery, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi with thyroid swellings clinically suspicious of malignancy between April 2014 to September 2016. Role of serum TSH as a biochemical predictor of malignancy in suspicious thyroid swellings were assessed. In our study we evaluated the utility of preoperative serum TSH levels as a predictor of malignancy and it did show a statistically significant correlation (p=<0.01) between higher TSH levels and malignant nodules.
