Overview
Screening for thyroid cancer is not recommended unless an individual is at an increased risk. Individuals at high risk, such as those with positive family history of thyroid cancer, radiation exposure, and genetic mutations, can be screened for thyroid cancer.
Screening
- Screening for thyroid cancer is not recommended unless an individual is at an increased risk.[1]
- Individuals at high risk, such as those with positive family history of thyroid cancer, radiation exposure, and genetic mutations, can be screened for thyroid cancer.
- Screening of individuals at high risk of developing thyroid cancer can include the following approach:
- General physical examination[2]
- Genetic testing
- Ultrasound examination of the neck
