| Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is an accurate and cost effective diagnostic
tool for differentiating malignant and benign thyroid nodules. Despite the efforts of the
Papanicolaou group to standardize thyroid cytopathology reporting, no universal standard
reporting system exists to date. Pathologists believe that clinicians sufficiently
understand FNAB cytological reports. However, this is not necessarily the case. There
is often a significant gap between pathologists’ beliefs and the clinicians’ understanding.
As a result, we propose “The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid
Cytopathology” by the National Cancer Institute. In this editorial, we briefly introduce
the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology. |
