The editors (as moderators) and several key lead chapter authors will present the updates and proposed changes to the 3rd (2023) edition of the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC). The pivotal role of FNA in the management of patients with thyroid nodules will be highlighted. The symposium will elaborate on diagnostic issues of practical importance. Clinical implications of the various cytopathologic interpretations and TBSRTC categories will be discussed as well as the management guidelines for each diagnostic category in light of the most recent ATA guidelines. The crucial role of a multidisciplinary approach will be emphasized throughout the presentation and there will be a separate discussion on integrating thyroid imaging findings with the FNA diagnoses. The symposium will also include updates on the use of new molecular markers employed to enhance the pre-operative diagnostic accuracy of thyroid FNA as well as used for prognostics and therapeutics (for personalized treatment). The session is being co-sponsored by the ASC and European Federation of Cytology Societies (EFCS).
