Summary

This study looks at 5000 people who had a thyroid nodule found on a PET-CT scan. It compares survival rates between those who had a follow-up thyroid ultrasound within 3 months and those who did not. The goal is to see if skipping the ultrasound leads to worse survival over 7 years. The study uses medical records from the Mass General Brigham healthcare system.
