Abstract
Thyroid nodule and cervical lymph node biopsy is the main clinical method for evaluating the condition and determining the follow-up treatment plan. The literature on thyroid nodule puncture predominantly focuses on thyroid fine needle puncture, and there are limited systematic articles on coarse needle aspiration for thyroid-related diseases and needle biopsy of thyroid-related cervical lymph node diseases. However, this shortage of articles does not reflect the diagnostic value of coarse needle aspiration in thyroid biopsy and cervical lymph node-related diseases. Currently, different departments of many hospitals in China are conducting or planning to perform needle biopsy of thyroid and cervical lymph node-related diseases to improve the standardization and safety of related operations. Standardization is needed for the indications, contraindications, perioperative period, postoperative complications management, puncture specimen processing, and related genetic analysis of thyroid and cervical lymph node puncture. For this purpose, Interventional Ultrasound Committee of Chinese College of Interventionalists organized a panel of domestic experts in the field of thyroid diseases to discuss and formulate a consensus. Based on the latest research progress, combined with the clinical realities in China, this Expert Consensus on Ultrasound Guided Thyroid and Neck Lymph Node Puncture (2023 edition) is released.
