Abstract

This letter contributes to the ongoing discussion on thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) practices in Italy by presenting a single-institution experience in which cytopathologists directly perform FNAs within an integrated, multidisciplinary setting. Our model ensures close correlation between sampling and diagnosis, maintains high diagnostic standards, and enables rapid, patient-centered clinical decision-making. Additionally, it highlights the educational value of involving pathology residents and supports the role of the interventional pathologist to meet the evolving demands of precision medicine.
