Diagnostic accuracy of Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology: an institutional perspective

Conclusion: Our study validated the accuracy of BSRTC in our setup. Therefore we recommend routine use of BSRTC for reporting thyroid cytopathology for initial workup of patients with thyroid nodule. However, risk of malignancy was found to be significantly high in Bethesda 3 category to warrant further workup including ultrasound/ thyroid scan in addition to repeat FNAC.
