Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The present document is a follow-up of the clinical practice guidelines of the French Society of Endocrinology, which were established for the use of its members and made available to scientific communities and physicians. Based on a critical analysis of data from the literature, consensuses and guidelines that have already been published internationally, it constitutes an update of the report on the diagnostic management of thyroid nodules that was proposed in France, in 1995, under the auspices of the French National Agency for Medical Evaluation (l'Agence nationale d'évaluation médicale). The current guidelines were deliberated beforehand by a number of physicians that are recognised for their expertise on the subject, coming from the specialities of endocrinology (the French Thyroid Research Group) and surgery (the French Association for Endocrine Surgery), as well as representatives from the fields of biology, ultrasonography, cytology and nuclear medicine. The guidelines were presented and submitted for the opinion of the members of the Society at its annual conference, which was held in Nice from 7-10 October 2009. The amended document was posted on the website of the Society and benefited from additional remarks of its members. The final version that is presented here was not subjected to methodological validation. It does not claim to be universal in its scope and will need to be revised in concert with progress made in technical and developmental concepts. It constitutes a document that the Society deems useful for distribution concerning the management of thyroid nodules, which is current, efficient and cost effective.
