A member asked:
Thyroid nodules 3.6 left 3.4 right is a needle biopsy practical at this size? should we just schedule removal of the thyroid.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Big nodules: Hi. Those are big nodules. They should only have FNAB done if you plan to NOT remove them if they're benign. If they're bugging you and you want them out even if they're benign, then you can skip FNAB.
