Because of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the joint session between the European Society of Pathology Working Groups of Endocrine Pathology and Cytopathology, initially scheduled in Glasgow (United Kingdom) for September 1, 2020, was converted into a virtual meeting that took place on December 8, 2020. Chaired by Catarina Eloy (Porto, Portugal) and Philippe Vielh (Paris, France), this session was entitled "Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodules: An Integrated Multidisciplinary Approach." The title reflects how a combined approach is critical to helping us better characterize thyroid nodules preoper-atively. Gilles Russ (Paris, France), a radiologist specializing in thyroid ultrasonography, described the various systems for stratifying the risk of malignancy (ROM) in adults, and he was followed by Voichita Suciu (Villejuif, France), an interventional cytopathologist, who reported the extensive experience of the one-stop clinic set up at the Gustave Roussy Cancer Center. Three additional cytopathologists focused on specific thyroid cytopathology issues: Sarah J. Johnson (Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom) illustrated new entities and potential pitfalls, Esther Diana Rossi (Rome, Italy) talked about indeterminate cytology (especially atypia), and Liron Pantanowitz (Ann Arbor, Michigan) discussed the potential of using both molecular and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. This report summarizes the main ideas and data shared between speakers and attendees during this successful session.
