Repeat aspiration of non-diagnostic and indeterminate thyroid nodules had a positive impact in both groups, with diagnostic resolution rates of 80% and 75%, respectively. The present study therefore endorses the use of such strategy for the initial follow-up of nodules with no definite diagnosis, especially in low-resource centres with limited access to modern molecular technologies.
