Abstract    Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), as a new technique for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, is widely recognized by medical workers for high sensitivity and high specificity. In China, FNAB started relatively late, and the level of technological was uneven. In the past 10 years of clinical reports of FNAB, it has been found that the development of FNAB in China has been characterized with rapidly developing and constantly emerging hot spots. However, there are still problems, such as clinical indications, specimen acquisition and interpretation of results, which need to be standardized. Therefore, strictly grasping the FNAB indications, obtaining satisfactory specimens and accurately interpreting the results will help the full implementation of FNAB quality control measures, and promote the thyroid disease to the era of precision medicine.

Key words: thyroid nodules, fine needle aspiration biopsy
