Progress in the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules: managing uncertainties and the ultimate role for molecular investigation
Abstract
The preoperative evaluation of thyroid nodules currently relies on a clinical assessment of risk factors and an algorithm based on imprecise tests. With serum TSH, thyroid ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) with or without ultrasound guide, accounting for the routine initial evaluation, indeterminate aspirates remain the major obstacle for confidently advising patients whether to have surgery or not.
