Background: The thyroid ultrasound examination (TUE) program was initiated among the residents of Fukushima Prefecture aged 20 mm.Results: In the PLBS and the first FSS, 1362 and 1382 cases with thyroid nodules sized 1 mm in diameter were found, respectively. The implementation rates of FNAC in the PLBS were 20.1%, 63.2%, and 87.7% of subjects with nodules sized 5.1-10.0, 10.1-20.0, and 20.1 mm in diameter, respectively. In the first FSS, the FNAC implementation rates were 7.3%, 26.0%, and 50.0% in the subjects with nodules with diameters 5.110.0, 10.1-20.0, and >= 20.1 mm, respectively. In the subjects who underwent FNAC, the detection rates of malignant and suspected malignant nodules were 21.4% and 34.1% in the PLBS and first FSS, respectively. In the first FSS, malignant or suspected malignant nodules were found in 0.63% and 0.40% of subjects who had nodules of diameters = 10.0 mm in diameter in the PLBS, no malignancies were detected.Conclusions: The use of a protocol that conformed to the Japanese guidelines led to a reduction in the FNAC implementation rate and an increase in the malignancy detection rate in smaller nodules. In addition, the use of this strategy enabled us to avoid detection failure of thyroid carcinomas >10.0 mm.
