Why is it important?
Thyroid nodules are common, and most are benign. The approach has shifted: now ultrasound determines the need for other exams, such as fine-needle aspiration biopsy and molecular testing, and the frequency of future examinations.
Perspectives
A new low-intensity approach, based on ultrasound, promotes high-quality care and minimizes unnecessary testing, achieving a personalized, risk-based protocol.
