Summary
Thyroid nodules
are common and need to be evaluated for possible thyroid
cancer. At the University of Pennsylvania, Thyroid Nodule
Clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic in which patients
with thyroid nodules undergo an ultrasound-guided fine
needle aspiration. Dr Fish has developed a database of
the patients evaluated in this clinic and is studying the
natural history of thyroid nodules as well as identifying
risk factors associated with thyroid cancer in patients
with thyroid nodules.
