Promising developments in the fi eld of diff erential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules

Abstract

In recent years, the ability to determine the nature of thyroid nodules has been signifi cantly improved both through the improvement of traditional methods, such as ultrasound examination (ultrasound) and fi ne needle aspiration biopsy (TAB), and through the creation of fundamentally new approaches. Th e review contains the most relevant achievements of recent years. Th e literature search was carried out in the bibliographic base of the Russian Science Citation Index for the words «node», «thyroid gland», «diagnosis», «cancer» on the site «https://www.elibrary.ru», as well as in the database of medical and Biological publications of the US National Center for Biotechnology Information on «nodule», «thyroid», «diagnostics», «cancer» at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Th e analysis of sources for the last 5 years has been carried out.
