Even though they happen from an overgrowth of cells, only about 1 in 10 thyroid nodules turn out to be cancer. Benign (noncancerous) thyroid nodules are common. Lots of people get them as they get older. If a thyroid nodule isn't cancerous, it may not need any treatment. Your doctor...
If surgery is likely to be considered for treatment, it is strongly recommended that the physician also determine the level of thyroglobulin. Produced only in the thyroid hormone in the blood. Thyroglobulin carries thyroid hormone in the blood. Thyroglobulin levels should fall quickly within 48 hours...
Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) returns 'indeterminate' results for follicular nodules (5-20% of all nodules), because a final diagnosis of malignant follicular neoplasia requires histologic evidence of capsular or vascular invasion, which FNAC cannot provide. Hürthle cell nodules (oxyphilic ...

Early identification of these nodules will help decrease morbidity from unnecessary interventions and result in treatment that is both timely and appropriate. 展开 关键词: Rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid nodule Thyroid bed DOI: 10.1186/1752-1947-7-247 年份: 2013 ...
When patients seek treatment for symptomatic nodules, a more serious problem may be indicated, and thyroid cancer is suggested. However, additional studies have demonstrated the use of genetic markers and immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, which may lead to a more rational ...
A thorough clinical history, family history and history of radiation, as well as an accurate physical examination, are very important in determining whether surgical treatment is indicated. Thyroid function tests, a radioactive isotope scan, a thyroid echogram and fine-needle biopsy are also useful...
Another new potential treatment is radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a toxic nodule. This is a minimally invasive treatment option, and it is an alternative to surgery in some patients with thyroid nodules. During this procedure, a small needle electrode is inserted into the thyroid nodule using ...

The definition and classification of thyroid nodules and tumors are briefly introduced, and the clinical criteria that prompt the evaluation of thyroid nodules are discussed, based principally on fine needle aspiration cytology, radioisotope scanning and ultrasound examinations. The principles of treatment ...
