Management of thyroid nodules: a clinicopathological, evidence-based approach

Furio Pacini et al. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2004 Oct.

Abstract

Management of thyroid nodules is one of the most controversial issues in thyroidology. Different approaches derive from geographical variation in presentation, inadequate or incomplete clinical diagnosis, lack of prospective controlled studies and, frequently, the different cultural backgrounds of physicians. This review aims to offer a practical approach to the management of nodular thyroid disorders, considering the way in which the pathophysiology of the disease provides clues to the correct clinical diagnosis and therapy.
