What I will learn?
Participants will be able to:
1. Describe the prevalence and potential causes of thyroid nodules, including benign conditions, malignant transformations, and risk factors associated with thyroid cancer.
2. Outline the appropriate diagnostic approach for evaluating thyroid nodules, including the use of ultrasound, fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy, and the interpretation of thyroid function tests to differentiate between benign and malignant nodules.
3. Summerize management strategies for patients with thyroid nodules, including surveillance protocols for benign nodules, indications for surgical intervention, and considerations for follow-up care based on cytology results.
