摘要

Differentiating follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) from carcinoma (FTC) remains challenging due to similar histological features separate from invasion. This study developed and validated DNA- and/or protein-based classifiers. A total of 2443 thyroid samples from 1568 patients were obtained from 24 centers in China and Singapore. Next-generation sequencing of a 66-gene panel revealed 41 (62.1%) detectable genes, while 25 were not, showing similar alteration patterns with differing mutation frequencies. Proteomics quantified 10,336 proteins, with 187 dysregulated. A discovery protein-based XGBoost model achieved an AUROC of 0.899 (95% CI, 0.849–0.949), outperforming the gene-based model (AUROC 0.670 [95% CI, 0.612–0.729]). A subsequent 24-protein classifier, developed via targeted mass spectrometry and validated in three independent sets, showed high performance in retrospective cohorts (AUROC 0.871 [95% CI, 0.833–0.910] and 0.853 [95% CI, 0.772–0.934]) and prospective biopsies (AUROC 0.781 [95% CI, 0.563–1.000]). It exhibited a 95.7% negative predictive value for ruling out malignancy. This study presents a promising protein-based approach for the differential diagnosis of FTA and FTC, potentially enhancing diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making.
