Thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a safe, cost effective, and relatively accurate method for guiding the initial management of a thyroid nodule. The popularity of thyroid FNA is reflected in the fact that over 350,000 thyroid FNAs are performed each year in the USA. As we move into the next decade, several issues pertaining to thyroid FNA are being addressed including: how to better apply thyroid FNA as a differential test for follicular-patterned thyroid tumors, how to manage the atypical thyroid FNA, and how to use thyroid FNA in the evaluation of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas.
甲状腺细针穿刺（FNA）是一种安全、经济有效的方法，可用于指导甲状腺结节的初步治疗。甲状腺 FNA 的普及程度反映在美国每年有超过 35 万例甲状腺 FNA 检查。随着我们进入下一个十年，目前正在解决几个与甲状腺 FNA 相关的问题，包括：如何更好地将甲状腺 FNA 作为滤泡型甲状腺肿瘤的鉴别试验，如何处理非典型甲状腺 FNA，以及如何在评估低分化甲状腺癌中使用甲状腺 FNA。
