Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few years, many multi-author practice guidelines with extensive bibliographies, for almost any disease have been published. In the field of thyroid diseases, their acceptance and applicability have not been overwhelming. On the other hand, daily practice is based on the observational experiences of practitioners. I propose that observational studies can provide an alternative for the creation of clear-cut guiding lines on how to manage a disease.
The aim of this Special Issue is to address experts in thyroidology to contribute concise and practical guiding lines. A guiding line should deal with one condition within the field. The key elements to be addressed are: How to approach the situation, and what is needed for diagnosis and therapy?
A final topic should evaluate the value of transcriptomic and proteomic approaches. Can they contribute to daily practice?
