Location is of critical importance

A recent study published in Thyroid looked at the risk of malignant nodules based on location in the thyroid⁴. Their specific aim was to determine if the location of a nodule made it more or less likely to be malignant. The thyroid was divided into four locations: isthmus, upper, middle, or lower portions of the thyroid lobe.

Nodules in the isthmus are at greater risk

The regression model revealed that location was an independent predictor of malignancy. Meaning that when all other variables were held constant, such as the ACR-TIRAD score, where the nodules were found was significant. Nodules in the lower lobe were least at risk, a result confirmed by two earlier studies using smaller sample sizes³˒⁵.

Should location be added to the ARC-TIRAD score?

Because nodule location appears to be associated with malignancy risk, including location as a measure in the ACR-TIRAD assessment may elevate the accuracy of this tool. Unfortunately, the authors did not report the findings of a multivariate model based solely on these two variables. However, Dr. Jasim told EndocrineWeb the following:
