Journal Article 2002; 23(4): 356-364 PubMed PMID: 12195241 Citation  Keywords:  Goiter:diagnosis, Humans, Iodine:deficiency, Thyroid Nodule:diagnosis,.

: The present opinions on the therapy with L-thyroxine (L-T4) of non-toxic multinodular, as well as of non-toxic thyroid nodules are rather divergent. This treatment is based on the suppression of TSH secretion from the pituitary. There are no doubts that fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) performance is the first and--at the same tim.....
