Preoperative Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value as a Predictor of Malignancy in Thyroid Nodules With Atypia of Undetermined Significance

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative pan-immune-inflammation value as a biomarker for malignancy risk in thyroid nodules with atypia of undetermined significance.
• Evaluated the pan-immune-inflammation value in thyroid nodules classified as AUS/FLUS.
• Conducted assessments of malignancy risk based on PIV scores.
• Suggested further studies to confirm findings and establish cutoff values.
• PIV demonstrated potential as an adjunctive biomarker for malignancy stratification.
• Utilization of PIV may aid in reducing unnecessary surgical interventions.
• Further prospective studies are needed to validate the findings.
