Diagnostic and Screening ServicesOn-site diagnostic testing enables endocrinologists and radiologists to detect suspicious thyroid nodules and cancers at their earliest stages, when they're most treatable.
The Multidisciplinary Thyroid Center’s comprehensive, same-day services include:
Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy of Thyroid Nodules
FNA is the best diagnostic procedure for determining which thyroid nodules are benign, and which have cancer.
Diagnostic Ultrasound of the Thyroid
Ultrasound is a noninvasive and painless procedure that can help doctors diagnose and treat thyroid conditions and thyroid cancer.
Advanced Molecular Diagnostic Evaluation of Thyroid Nodules and Tissues by Thyro-Seq
For patients with inconclusive FNA biopsy results, the advanced molecular test, Thyro-Seq — pioneered at UPMC —looks for unique genetic alterations in your thyroid nodule to help your doctor determine if your nodule is benign or malignant.
The Multidisciplinary Thyroid Center's world-class surgeons work closely with referring primary care physicians and highly specialized endocrinologists, pathologists, and nuclear medicine physicians to provide a comprehensive team approach that meets each patient’s needs.
