Overview

According to USPSTF, screening for thyroid cancer is not recommended and there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for thyroid nodule.

Screening

According to the USPSTF, there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for thyroid nodule in United States.[1]

Most countries do not recommend routine screening for thyroid nodules, however in Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture, a new intensive screening program was adopted in 2014 for children and adolescents group, in response to the 2011 nuclear accident.

  • The result showed an approxiamtely 30 times thyroid cancer incidence as high as the national average among the screened children and adolescents. [2]
