Eligibility Criteria

  • * \* Male and female patient volunteers ages 8 and up who are suspicious for thyroid cancer
  • * Patients who have palpable and sonographically detectable lymph nodes or nonthyroidal neck masses and are referred to Radiology Department or Endocrinology for fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB)
  • * Patients 18 and up who were previously diagnosed with thyroid cancer and treated with thyroidectomy and recently diagnosed as having recurrence nodes on thyroid bed or on their neck
  • * Because thyroid cancer is rare under the age of 8 years, children younger than this age are excluded from the study
  • * Having FNAB or surgical biopsy on thyroid in less than two weeks for thyroid nodule detection group
  • * Having FNAB or surgical biopsy on cervical lymph nodes or non- thyroidal masses for this group of patients
