Ultrasound‐guided needle biopsy of large thyroid nodules: Core needle biopsy yields more reliable results than fine needle aspiration

Purpose The objective of this study was to compare the false negative rate, sensitivity and false positive rate of ultrasound (US)‐guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) with those of US‐guided core needle biopsy (CNB) for large thyroid nodules ≥2.0 cm, which reportedly have an increased risk of thyroi...
