Discussion

Observational study explores FNAC implications in thyroid nodules using TIRADS scoring, suggesting decision clarity for clinicians.

Forty-one percent of evaluated thyroid nodule cases underwent fine-needle aspiration cytology, indicating diverse clinician decisions.
The analysis showed that FNAC was performed in 37 out of 89 cases, revealing a malignancy rate of 5.5% among FNAC cases.
Data collected over one year highlighted a significant concern regarding patient reluctance toward FNAC due to discomfort.
Findings suggest that FNAC is usually not required for TIRADS categories 1 and 2, emphasizing the need for better risk management.

Bandaru et al. (2025) studied this question.
