 Specialists
It would be appropriate to consult an internist,
endocrinologist, a surgeon specializing in thyroid surgery,
or an interventional radiologist when assessing a patient
with a suspicious thyroid nodule and an abnormal screening
evaluation. These specialists can either assist with the
interpretation of the screening results or formulate a
management plan for the patient.
