Abstract
FNAB is the most important advance in the management of thyroid nodules in the past two decades. Dr Mazzaferri has said that finding a thyroid cancer in a thyroid nodule is like finding a needle in a haystack. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is like applying a strong electromagnet to find that needle. It should be available to all physicians who deal with thyroid disease.
