Conditions
Brief summary
Patients with small favorable malignant or indeterminate thyroid nodules will receive information about management of thyroid nodules. Participants will be asked to complete brief surveys at the time of enrollment, shortly after the consultation appointment with the surgeon, and a few months after either the consultation or the surgery, to assess their satisfaction with their decision and decision making process. All participants will receive routine care and counseling by their endocrinologist and surgeon.
