Thyroid Cancer Screening

Thyroid cancer is one of the more common cancers in the UAE, particularly in women. Early-stage thyroid cancer is highly treatable, making screening of suspicious nodules a potentially life-saving step. We use high-resolution ultrasound to characterise nodules and fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy where indicated.

A thyroid screen is recommended for anyone with a palpable neck lump, unexplained voice changes, or a family history of thyroid cancer. It is a quick, non-invasive assessment with same-day results for ultrasound findings.

Key Benefits

• High-resolution ultrasound with immediate reporting
