| Research Abstract |
The conventional method of diagnostic cytology is the laboratory procedure to depend on knowledge and experience of cytopathologist and cytotechnologist, hence the problem such as inter-observer variability and false diagnosis may occur. To establish objective diagnostic method that was not based on the subjectivity of the investigator, this study assessed novel method that applied morphometric analysis and immunocytochemistry to LBC specimen of thyroid. This method was able to discriminate malignancy group (papillary carcinoma and follicular carcinoma) and benign group (follicular adenoma, adenomatous goiter and Basedow's disease) with high probability.
