Background: Thyroid cancer is a common malignancy and has an increasing incidence. Thyroid ultrasound is
widely used to stratify the risk of malignancy of thyroid nodules and aid decision-making about whether fine needle
aspiration biopsy is indicated using the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS). We undertook this
study to determine incidence of thyroid cancer in an older, most male population referred for evaluation of a thyroid
nodule at a US veterans medical center.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all patients undergoing evaluation of a thyroid nodule at the
Oklahoma City US Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. We recorded sonographic findings, TIRADS
