A member asked:
Could fnb on 2.3cm thyroid nodule cause problem if it is cancer? like breaking the seal & spreading cancer faster. deciding on fnb or lobe removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
FNB is safe: FNB is commonly done on thyroid nodules and lumps in the breast. it is the first step to make a diagnosis of Cancer. it is better to do FNB than surgery to remove a lump the surgeon needs to know ahead of time what he/she is removing? FNB next is the way to go in your case.
