The incidence of thyroid cancer has been rising for the past three decades, provoking new ideas and controversy regarding the diagnosis and initial management of thyroid cancer, especially for small papillary thyroid carcinomas. The American Thyroid Association evidence-based Management Guidelines for Patients with Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma published in 2006 have sparked much interest in practitioners.
