DIAGNOSES

A correct diagnosis can prevent unnecessary surgery and allow a more accurate and precise treatment.

– Consultation by Head & Neck Specialists

– Ultrasound (US) of the Thyroid

– Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA) – a biopsy of the Thyroid

Advanced Genetic (Molecular) Tests:

Molecular tests are a relatively new technology that enables the identification of aggressive mutations in nodules. The molecular test allows to differentiate between malignant or benign nodules with moderate suspicion for malignancy (Bethesda III, IV), and thereby decide whether surgery is required or can be avoided, as well as determine the degree of Tumor Aggressiveness, thus making the treatment more precise.

– Types of Molecular Tests:

Thyroseq3 | ThyGenext | Afirm
