Thyroid nodules are among the most common endocrine disorders and present a significant diagnostic challenge. In recent decades, the incidence of thyroid cancer has increased globally, largely due to improved detection methods and widespread imaging use. According to 2024 global data, thyroid cancer constitutes a notable proportion of endocrine malignancies and occurs more frequently in women than in men, making gender an important factor in diagnosis and management.
