      Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid should be used routinely in the evaluation and management of nodular thyroid disease. Our extensive experience (11,000 biopsies) confirms the high sensitivity (98%) and the predictive value (99%) of the procedure for the detection of malignancy. Application of fine-needle aspiration biopsy has increased the surgical yield of cancer (from 14% to 39%). Complications are extremely rare, and the procedure is cost effective.
