A member asked:
The doctor said that he wants to do a total thyroidectomy for carcinoma. but if it's only suspicious, why would they do something so extreme?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroidectomy: For most thyroid cancers, surgery is the first line treatment. Without having all the information, your question is hard to answer, but your surgeon must be seeing something that concerns him/her. It's best to ask your doctor.
