Abstract

Eleonora Miliordos

Thyroid nodules are common clinical findings that can range from benign growths to malignant tumors. Their evaluation and treatment require a systematic approach to determine the appropriate management strategy. This paper reviews the current methods for evaluating thyroid nodules, including clinical assessment, imaging techniques, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy. It also discusses various treatment approaches, ranging from active surveillance to surgical intervention, based on the nodule's characteristics and the patient's overall health. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the best practices for managing thyroid nodules, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
