Dr. Thierry Yazbek Surgery
In patients without risk factors for thyroid cancer or suspicious ultrasound findings, routine Fine Needle Aspiration ( for pathology) is not recommended for nodules <1 cm. We perform periodic ultrasonography (initially at 6 to 12 months, then at increasing intervals over time assuming stability, eg, at one to two year intervals, then three to five years) to evaluate for growth. If the nodule grows to ≥1 to 2 cm and demonstrates the ultrasound characteristics discussed above, ultrasound-guided FNA should be performed.
