Usefulness of fine-needle aspiration in the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma: a retrospective study in 37,895 patients.
TL;DR: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the usefulness of fine‐needle aspiration of palpable thyroid nodules after functional evaluation by thyroid scintigraphy.

Evaluation and management of the solid thyroid nodule
Henry B. Burch,Henry B. Burch +1 more
TL;DR: Significant difficulties await resolution, including the preponderance of patients still subjected to thyroidectomy for benign follicular lesions and the reluctance of clinicians to abandon the use of diagnostic techniques that offer little useful information, such as routine scintillation scanning and diagnostic trials of suppressive therapy.

Béatrix Cochand-Priollet,Pierre-Jean Guillausseau,Sophie Chagnon,Catherine Hoang,Claudine Guillausseau-Scholer,Philippe Chanson,Henri Dahan,Warnet A,Patrice Tran Ba Huy,Patrice Valleur +9 more
TL;DR: The authors tried to assess the diagnostic value of FNAB performed under ultrasonography in a series of patients with a cold nodule and a systematic surgical control and obtained results which are equivalent to those previously published but associated with a low level of insufficient material.

Ultrasound-guided fine-needle capillary biopsy of thyroid nodules, coupled with on-site cytologic review, improves results.
Graziano Ceresini,Luigi Corcione,S. Morganti,Bruna Milli,L. Bertone,R. Prampolini,S. Petrazzoli,M. Saccani,Gian Paolo Ceda,Giorgio Valenti +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the combination of US guidance, capillary collection with no-aspiration technique, and on-site review of slides, characterizes an advantageous method for thyroid nodule fine-needle biopsy.

TL;DR: The overall mortality observed at 30 years was only 3% above that expected, and death from thyroid cancer was highly associated with the following factors: age more than 50 years, male sex, tumor size, tumor grade, initial extent of disease, and absence of Hashimoto's disease.
