  • Summary

  • Thyroid lumps have always been with us. Often referred to as goitres (interpreted from Latin to mean neck swelling), numerous ancient medical sources mention these and how to manage them.

    However, it has only been with modern medicine and investigations that we can distinguish between benign and malignant lesions. In this episode, we examine the investigations, diagnosis, management and prognosis of thyroid lumps.

    This is the story of Thyroid lumps (Part 2)

    Part 1 focuses on cytology and surgery for thyroid.
    Part 2 focuses on anatomical pathology and molecular/genetics.

    Our special guests:

    Professor Yuri Nikiforov is the Director of the Division of Molecular Anatomic Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Co-developer of the test we discuss in this episode, ThyroSeq.

    Dr Tiffany Symes is a histopathologist and deputy director of Anatomical Pathology at Melbourne Pathology. She is also featured in part one.

    Dr Rachael Chambers is a histopathologist at Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, Brisbane.
