Abstract

Current diagnostic work-up and management of thyroid nodules and cancer leads to unnecessary investigations and suboptimal treatment. This study provides insights into the genetic basis of thyroid cancer, including the potential application of polygenic risk scores across multiple stages of thyroid cancer screening, diagnosis and management.
