Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the tool of choice for evaluating thyroid nodules but there is a significant percentage of insufficient or indeterminate aspirates and falsely reassuring results have been reported in up to 6% of cases.We aimed to examine our experience with FNAB among a large cohort of unselected patients with thyroid nodules.239 consecutive patients (211 women) underwent FNA of a thyroid nodule between July...

Introduction: TSH-stimulated serum thyroglobulin (Tg) is used as a sensitive marker for the detection of early recurrence or residual disease following treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, stimulated Tg, using TSH or thyroid hormone withdrawal, is either costly or cumbersome for patients.Aim: To compare the performance of basal T4 suppressed, with stimulated Tg measurement, in the follow up of patients treated for DTC.</...
