The experts at TGH's Thyroid Nodule Rapid Evaluation Clinic can diagnose thyroid cancers in about two hours, reducing a two- to five-month process to a single visit.
During their visit, patients have a thyroid ultrasound performed by ultrasound technologists who specialize in the thyroid gland, and, if needed, a biopsy is performed as well. The biopsy results are available during this visit, and a treatment plan will also be developed.
