Introduction: Borderline thyroid tumors, characterized by their indistinct status between benign and malignant forms, pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study aims to elucidate effective diagnostic and management strategies for these tumors, enhancing patient outcomes.

Methods: Our study employed a retrospective analysis design, spanning several years, focusing on various borderline thyroid tumors, including Hyalinizing Trabecular Tumors, Well-Differentiated Tumors of Uncertain Malignant Potential, Follicular Tumors of Uncertain Malignant Potential, and Non-Invasive Follicular Thyroid neoplasm with Papillary-like Nuclear Features. The subjects were patients diagnosed with these conditions, treated in a specialized medical setting. The study assessed diagnostic imaging techniques, fine needle aspiration, and surgical interventions. Outcome measurements included accuracy of preoperative diagnosis, surgical outcomes, and recurrence rates. Preliminary analyses focused on the effectiveness of current diagnostic and management practices.

Results: The study’s main outcomes revealed varying levels of diagnostic accuracy and treatment effectiveness for different types of borderline thyroid tumors. Specific results, including confidence levels and P-values, will provide insights into the efficacy of current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Conclusions: The study concludes that a multidisciplinary approach incorporating advanced diagnostic methods and tailored surgical interventions is crucial for optimal management of borderline thyroid tumors. These findings emphasize the need for ongoing research and adaptation of best practices in the field.
