A member asked:

Pap thyroid cancer size 7.5mm & invasive ductal breast cancer. ent said should be ok to remove right half of thyroid only. opinions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

That's fine: If a thyroid lesion is small and there are no nodes palpable and lesion is central in the lobe with a clean isthmus, the chance after a lobectomy of a new lesion forming is about 7%. A hemithyroidectomy here would be fine.
