Introduction

This section is intended to provide practical tools for the latest information regarding Thyroid FNA's. Admittedly, there is some personal gain in this, as I will certainly utilize this to assist me with my daily Thyroid FNA signout. Hopefully, through this practical excercise, other users will find this information helpful as well. Additionally, I welcome others to contribute their insights and practical experience in this area as well. There is an excellent article available on the American Cancer Society's website, that I strongly recommended as a study aide to learn more about new changes in thyroid classification and management. Lester J. Layfield, MD1, Edmund S. Cibas, MD2, Hossein Gharib, MD3 and Susan J. Mandel, MD, MPH4. Thyroid Aspiration Cytology: Current Status. CA Cancer J Clin 2009; 59:99-110.
