Summary

This study is testing a new DNA-based method to determine whether thyroid nodules found during a needle biopsy are cancerous or harmless. Researchers will collect samples from 1,450 adults undergoing thyroid biopsies to see if the test can accurately tell the difference. If successful, this test could help many people avoid surgery for nodules that turn out to be benign.
