Modern aspects of diagnostics of thyroid nodules

Modern information on the problem of thyroid nodules is represented. The main diagnostic methods are discussed. The characteristic of the thyroid nodule, multinodular process and goiter is given. It is noted that inadequate preand intraoperative diagnostics, incorrect interpretation of research results often lead to inadequate scope of surgical intervention and unsatisfactory long-term results of treatment. One of the main conclusions is the search for new, more informative and safer methods for diagnosing the nature of thyroid nodules, which is crucial in choosing a treatment method that is adequate to the extent of the operation.
