Ultrasonography is the modality of choice for neck nodal surveillance after thyroidectomy for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), according to the American Thyroid Association and the European Thyroid Association. In a cross-sectional survey study published in this issue of JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, Kovatch and colleagues draw attention to low confidence in ultrasonography among a cohort of 320 endocrinologists, general surgeons, and otolaryngologists. The authors found that only 1 in 5 physicians reported having high confidence in their own ability to use ultrasonography to detect lymph nodes suggestive of recurrence; 3 in 5 reported having high confidence in a radiologist's ability to detect recurrence; and 1 in 3 did not have high confidence in either their own or a radiologist's ability to detect recurrence.
