Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is the most widely used screening and diagnostic method for thyroid nodules. Although Western guidelines for managing thyroid nodules and the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology are widely available throughout Asia, the clinical practices in Asia vary from those of Western countries. Accordingly, the Working Group of Asian Thyroid FNA Cytology encouraged group members to publish their works jointly with the same topic. The articles in this special issue focused on the history of thyroid FNA, FNA performers and interpreters, training programs of cytopathologists and cytotechnicians, staining methods, the reporting system of thyroid FNA, quality assurance programs, ancillary testing, and literature review of their own country's products. Herein, we provide a brief overview of thyroid FNA practices in China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand.
超声引导下细针穿刺（FNA）细胞学检查是甲状腺结节最广泛使用的筛查和诊断方法。尽管亚洲各地广泛采用西方甲状腺结节管理指南和甲状腺细胞病理学报告的贝塞斯达系统，但亚洲的临床实践与西方国家有所不同。因此，亚洲甲状腺FNA细胞学工作组鼓励小组成员就同一主题联合发表作品。本期特刊中的文章聚焦于甲状腺FNA的历史、FNA操作人员及解读人员、细胞病理学家和细胞技术人员的培训项目、染色方法、甲状腺FNA的报告系统、质量保证项目、辅助检测以及对本国产品的文献综述。在此，我们简要概述中国、印度、日本、韩国、菲律宾、台湾地区和泰国的甲状腺FNA实践情况。
