2 THE NCI THYROID FNA STATE of the SCIENCE CONFERENCE: 2007 Mission: Establish a comprehensive interdisciplinary informational dialogue dedicated to thyroid FNA. Six committees were formed to cover specific subjects in the utilization of FNA in the triage of thyroid nodules. Gharib H, Goellner JR. Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy of the Thyroid: An Appraisal.
