ROMERO ROJAS, Alfredo Ernesto et al. Thyroid pathology: differences and controversies between the pathology report and clinical interpretation. Part I: prognostic factors. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.3, pp.160-165. ISSN 0123-9015.  https://doi.org/10.10167j.rccan.2016.07.002.

Cancer of the thyroid gland is a neoplasia for which its detection, diagnosis and treatment is interdisciplinary. For this reason, the definitive diagnosis by histopathology should be complete and clear so that it can be interpreted in the same way by the treating medical group. Non-pathology physicians who receive the report of a histopathological study of the thyroid often have difficulties when interpreting the report and therefore in defining the subsequent medical behaviour. The objective of this first article is to review briefly some of the different subjects that generate most doubts in the interpretation of the histopathology report, and the diagnostic techniques used in pathology by the attending physicians that have an impact on clinical decisions arising from the classification, staging, prognosis, and follow-up of the disease.
