Cet article présente les nouvelles recommandations d'un groupe d'experts américains sur le dépistage du cancer de la thyroïde
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against screening for thyroid cancer in asymptomatic adults, giving the practice a grade of D.1 That is, the Task Force discourages use of screening with palpation or ultrasonography with a moderate degree of certainty that such screening has no net benefit or that the harm outweighs any benefits. The recommendation is based on a systematic evidence review2 that is an update of a prior USPSTF recommendation from 1996,3 which came to a similar conclusion.
