Micro-carcinoma: only a diagnostic epidemic?

CONCLUSION: Micro-carcinoma is a more represented entity than apparently suspected. Now a days, cytology is the most precise diagnostic support to the therapeutic management of thyroid node, yet it is still charged with false negatives. The evaluation of data records combined with some molecular biology techniques and applied to cytology, could help in giving more appropriate surgical indication, allowing the surgery to be therapeutic more than diagnostic.
