What really is an indeterminate FNA thyroid nodule?

CONCLUSIONS: The indeterminate FNA still remains a challenge for the surgeon because it is not yet possible to discriminate patients who really need surgery from those that can be followed in follow-up. The potential of molecular diagnostics for thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology is promising, but many of these markers are too complex or expensive for routine clinical use or are still poorly standardized. KEY WORDS: Indeterminate FNA, Thyroid, Thyroid fine needle aspiration. PMID: 28632145 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
