A two miRNA classifier differentiates follicular thyroid carcinomas from follicular thyroid adenomas

ABSTRACT: The inherent diagnostic limitations of thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA), especially in the “indeterminate” category, can be partially overcome by molecular analyses. We aimed at the identification of miRNAs that could be used to improve the discrimination of indeterminate FNAs. miRNA expression profiling was performed for 17 follicular carcinomas (FTCs) and 8 follicular adenomas (FAs). The microarray results underwent cross-comparison using three additional microarray data sets. Candidate miRNAs were validated by qPCR in an independent set of 32 FTCs and 46 FAs. Sixty-eight differentially expressed miRNAs were identified. Thirteen miRNAs could be confirmed by cross comparison. A two-miRNA-classifier was established improving the diagnostic applicability and resulted in a sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 49%. We present a classifier that has the potential to be successfully evaluated in cytology material for its capability to discriminate (mutation negative) indeterminate cytologies and thereby improving the pre-surgical diagnostics of thyroid nodules.

All samples are independent, coming from different patients.

Preoperative Diagnosis of Benign Thyroid Nodules with Indeterminate Cytology

Project description:BACKGROUND: Following fine needle aspiration, 15-30% of thyroid nodules are not clearly benign or malignant. These cytologically indeterminate nodules are often referred for diagnostic surgery, though most prove benign. A novel diagnostic test measuring the expression of 167 genes has shown promise in improving pre-operative risk assessment. We evaluated this test in a prospective, multicenter study. METHODS: Over 19 months, we performed a prospective study at 49 clinical sites enrolling 3,789 patients and collecting 4,812 samples from thyroid nodules >1cm requiring evaluation. We obtained 577 cytologically indeterminate aspirates with corresponding histopathology of excised lesions on 413. Central blinded histopathologic review served as the reference (“gold”) standard. After applying inclusion criteria, gene expression classifier results were obtained for 265 indeterminate nodules used in this analysis, and performance was calculated. RESULTS: 85 of 265 indeterminate nodules were malignant. The gene expression classifier correctly identified 78 of 85 as ‘suspicious’ (92% sensitivity, [84%-97%] 95% CI). Specificity was 52%, [44%-59%]. The negative predictive value was 95%, 94%, and 85%, respectively, for aspirates with AUS/FLUS, FN/SFN, or ‘suspicious’ cytology. Analysis of 7 false negative cases revealed 6 with a paucity of thyroid follicular cells, suggesting that insufficient sampling of the nodule had occurred. CONCLUSIONS: Though individualized clinical care is recommended, these data support consideration of a conservative approach for most patients with indeterminate FNA cytology and benign gene expression classifier results. 265 cytologically indetermine samples, 47 cytologically benign and 55 cytologically malignant samples

Comparison of gene expression between follicular thyroid adenoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma

Project description:Follicular thyroid tumours were investigated using global gene expression analysis. Aim of this study was the identification of new markers for follicular thyroid carcinoma. Keywords: cell type comparison Gene expression analysis of 4 follicular thyroid adenomas, 4 follicular thyroid carcinomas, and 4 microinvasive follicular thyroid carcinomas.

Epigenetic profiling of Follicular thyroid adenomas and carcinomas using high content DNA methylation arrays

Project description:While thyroid nodules per se are frequent (4%–50%), thyroid cancer is rare (∼5% of all thyroid nodules). The minimally invasive Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is the current gold standard for the diagnosis thyroid nodule malignancy. However, proper discrimination of follicular neoplasias often require more invasive diagnostic techniques. To develop a novel molecular classification system for thyroid cancer malignancy, we performed a genome-wide epigenetic profiling of 54 fresh frozen Follicular like thyroid samples using the Illumina Human DNA Methylation EPIC platform.

Gene expression markers differentiating between malignant and benign follicular thyroid tumors

Project description:Differential diagnosis between malignant follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) and benign follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) is a great challenge for even an experienced pathologist and requires special effort. Molecular markers may potentially support a differential diagnosis between FTC and FTA in postoperative specimens. The purpose of this study was to derive molecular support for the differential diagnosis, in the form of a simple multigene mRNA-based classifier that would differentiate between FTC and FTA tissue samples.
