Thyroid nodules & differentiated cancer
thyroid-nodules · society: ATA
Summary
Comprehensive ATA guidelines for evaluation and management of adult thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), updating the 2009 version. Major changes include a sonographic pattern-based FNA decision framework, expanded role of molecular testing for indeterminate cytology, more conservative surgical approach (lobectomy acceptable for many 1–4 cm low-risk cancers), more selective use of RAI ablation in low/intermediate-risk disease, lower-activity RAI regimens, and a dynamic response-to-therapy risk restratification system. New sections address active surveillance for papillary microcarcinoma, kinase inhibitor therapy for RAI-refractory progressive disease, and management of advanced/metastatic DTC.
