Abstract:
Thyroid nodules are common lesions which are over-treated in Mainland China. This article encourages using standard diagnostic procedures to differentiate malignant nodules from benign nodules especially by ifne needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. The proper treatment should be applied according to different FNA results to avoid overtreatment.
