Molecular Diagnostics for Thyroid Nodules
For years, an indeterminate thyroid biopsy has meant diagnostic surgery, but molecular testing is now changing that reality entirely. On this episode of the BackTable ENT & Allergy podcast, Dr. Ashley Agan interviews endocrinologist Dr. Erik Alexander about how molecular testing and a systematic, layered approach to thyroid nodule evaluation are reducing diagnostic surgeries and enabling more individualized patient care.
