Standard operating procedure (SOP) for cervical ultrasound cine loop video sequences in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
Rationale and objectives: Cervical ultrasound (US) is crucial in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, there are no guidelines for its acquisition and documentation, particularly concerning the role of additional video sequences, known as US cine loops (UCL). The aim of this study is to examine the clinical relevance (CR) of a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for cervical UCL in DTC follow-up.
Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on all UCL examinations of DTC follow-up patients at a tertiary care center between January 2010 and February 2018 to determine their clinical significance. The patients were divided into two groups: those with no documented CR (UCL-nCR) and those with documented CR (UCL-CR). The study reviewed the respective written medical US reports that were validated by experienced residents. The UCL-CR were categorized in: confirmation of a suspicious finding that was identified during conventional live US (UCL-CRcon), identification of a suspicious finding that was not identified during conventional live US (UCL-CRide), and invalidation of a suspicious finding that was identified during conventional live US (UCL-CRinv).
Results: A total of 5512 UCLs in 652 DTC patients were analyzed, with 71.5% women and a mean age of 50 years. More than 90% of the tumors were low-risk at initial staging. The mean number of UCLs per patient was 8.5 ± 4.6. Overall, 95 cases of UCL-CR were identified in 82 patients (12.6%), with a patient-based number needed to scan of 8. UCL-CRinv was the most common type of UCL-CR, accounting for 77 (81.1%) of cases. The occurrences of 12 UCL-CRcon (12.6%) and 6 UCL-CRide (6.3%) were correspondingly less frequent. The diagnosis of UCL-CR was confirmed in 91.6% of cases during the clinical course.
Conclusions: In 12.6% of the patients, the additional acquisition and archiving of cervical UCL revealed clinical relevance in the course of DTC disease. The invalidation of suspicious findings through the retrospective analysis of former UCL occurred as the most significant benefit of this method. The UCL SOP can be easily and quickly integrated into the US workflow.
期刊介绍：
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
