Afirma Benign Thyroid Nodules Show Similar Growth to Cytologically Benign Nodules During Follow Up.

CONCLUSIONS: Cyto-I/GEC-B nodules demonstrate similar growth to Cyto-B nodules during follow up. Though Cyto-I/GEC-B nodules were more frequently resected, only one malignancy was found. These data suggest that reassessment of Cyto-I/GEC-B nodules may be performed similarly to those with benign cytology.
