Role of fine-needle aspiration cytology in evaluating thyroid nodules. A retrospective study from a tertiary care center of Western region, Saudi Arabia.

Conclusion: Our study showed that FNAC has high sensitivity and speci city in the initial evaluation of patients with thyroid nodules. When guided by ultrasonography, the accuracy can be markedly improved. Molecular markers once widely available can improve the diagnostic power of FNAC to be no less than the histopathologic evaluation of thyroid tissue. PMID: 33026051 [PubMed - in process]
